ABOUTThis project is an interactive data visualization of a day in my life celebrating the daily interactions I have with the people around me.
As an extrovert, people are the spark of my life, and I noticed that these small everyday interactions always make me happy. Despite this, I realized I often overlooked these interactions and took them for granted. With this data visualization, I hope to pay tribute to the people in my life and also spark a little reflection and sentimentality for any viewer. Who are the people in your life that spark joy?

THE SPARKNo matter how crappy my day sometimes was, after every interaction, I noticed I almost always felt a surge of positive emotion. I therefore sorted my interactions by the emotion they prompted. I also logged if I had initiated the conversation. In total for the month, I had 344 interactions with 42 separate people.
PROCESSFor the visual inspiration, I wanted to draw from 90’s-style arcade games, in particular the original Mario games. Mario games have an endearing and nostalgic quality to them, and I leaned into it when possible because it aligned with the same feelings of sentimentality my data intends to portray.
