Surbhi Bhatia
About
Surbhi brings together data, code, and design to create visual stories that make complex information insightful and memorable. She has worked across newsrooms, academia, think tanks, multilaterals, and design studios, and trains researchers, journalists, and communicators in data-driven storytelling.
Much of her journey in code and design has been self-taught, fuelled by curiosity, experimentation, and the occasional online rabbit hole. While she agrees that correlation is not causation, she believes strongly that walkable cities make for a better life.
