“Gurman's ability to convert complex data information into a simple and elegant chart is superb. She is a complete story-teller with data and I highly recommend her.”

Rahul Verma, Fellow at Centre for Policy Research (CPR)

“Gurman delivered a bespoke microsite for our investigation into the Iraqi oil industry. She was a joy to work with and demonstrated an impressive ability to translate my requests for aspects of the site to be "softer" or "lighter" onto the page. Gurman is a talented journalist, as well as a top designer and web developer. She understands stories and how to make them work for an audience. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

Joe Sandler Clarke, Reporter at Unearthed

“Gurman guided our team of designers, developers and writers in creating their first long form interactive data story. Our team learned so much from her, from story structure, to command line data tools, to picking colours and chart types. Her expertise in both the technical aspects of front end web based data visualisation development, as well as design and storytelling makes her a rare talent. Moreover, her experience working in leading data journalism newsrooms means that she was also able to teach us battle-tested techniques for building interactive data visualisations that are scalable and performant even when serving many thousands of users.”

Yan Naung Oak, Founder at Thibi

“Gurman delivered six bespoke infographics for Climate Home News’ investigation into climate change’s impact on workers in India’s sugar industry, produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center. Gurman sourced a wide range of data, which revealed the prevalence of teenage pregnancies and hysterectomies as well as rainfall and temperature trends in India’s key sugar producing hubs. She also analysed the increase in Indian sugar exports and showed that the country’s sugar production is the highest in a decade. Her data analysis and the visualisations she created were hugely important for our investigation as they clearly showed that the issues our reporters uncovered were systemic and pervasive within the industry. She is full of ideas and has a strong work ethic, I’d highly recommend Gurman to anyone looking to hire a talented data journalist.”
