AD Digital Authority
Data Ecosystem
I created an illustrative ecosystem map for Abu Dhabi Digital Authority, giving form to a complex government data strategy so it could be understood, explained, and shared.
ADDA’s vision was to help Abu Dhabi government entities move towards a new era of data-value realization. The challenge was to explain a highly complex ecosystem; data marketplaces, open data services, geo-spatial tools, insight platforms, public sector entities, and their interdependencies as one connected system.
The design response was to build a visual universe around it. What started as an internal tool to understand the strategy became a communication tool for the client: an isometric ecosystem map that made relationships, services, and dependencies easier to see. Through illustration, structure, and motion, abstract data infrastructure became something more tangible and easy to explain.
