About Dan Grunebaum

Data visualization developer and journalist with a passion for unlocking the stories inside data and delivering them via digital, video and static media. A graduate of the Data Visualization MS program at Parsons School of Design, my visualizations, writing and video work explore material from healthcare to cultural geographies to content analytics and brand interactions. I\'m inspired by fresh possibilities for understanding our changing world, and comfortable in technical and editorial roles. My data storytelling includes projects for Moody\'s, HealthCare.com, the East-West Center and Equal Access International. A onetime Tokyo resident, my Japan-based work appeared in the New York Times, Rolling Stone and NHK. Sustaining my passion for Japanese culture, I also manage AvanTokyo, an organization presenting Japanese musicians and performing artists to American audiences.
