At The Associated Press , I worked on creating data narratives and interactives for their 2024 live elections result page and AP VoteCast. I collaborated with designers, journalists, and the back-end data team to translate complex election data into compelling graphics that appeal to a wide audience. I am constantly considering how to communicate electoral trends and outcomes, so that any audience can gain meaningful insights on the state of U.S. politics. For election night, I created a margin shift chart showing how a state’s counties, groups, and regions have changed since the 2020 election. The live election results page also included a few React components I built, a live updating ribbon, a typography need to win visualization, and a From The Decision Desk carousel. I also contributed to AP VoteCast, creating a barbell chart and horizontal bar chart to visualize voter responses. As part of post election analyses, I created a cartogram map with small multiple bar charts looking at changes in votes in each state from 2020 to 2024. I am incredibly proud of all the ways I contributed to the Associated Press’s visuals both on the live election results page & AP VoteCast. It was a record breaking night in term on views & new users. Read about the impact and engagement of our visuals here.

Testimonial - Linda Gorman - Head Interactive News Editor

“I was beyond happy with Parker's work on the 2024 general election. She built four live results election visualizations from scratch in just a few months, all of which were technically complex and required preparing for a range of special cases and possible outcomes. She finished each component with a high degree of polish, paying particular attention to details like transitions that help create an exceptional user experience. Parker was also a great collaborator and immediately clicked with the designers, stakeholders and reporters that we regularly work with.

Our election results visuals received record setting traffic for the AP, which I truly believe had a lot to do with Parker's exceptional work.“
