Story Data Story: Floriography for Lotus/Thistle

This is a placeholder draft post that will later be about the process/story of how I assembled and utilized data for one of my creative projects—in this case, the spreadsheet where I combined scientific data on the entire plant kingdom with the meanings given by several floriography (ie the language of flowers) books—with a bit of hanakotoba meanings mixed in.

Yes, I do this for fun. No, nothing wrong with me.

The Bæ warned me against having my normal humor and openness at the forefront of this blog now that I’m undergoing a job search for data analysis positions.

Most of my work-related content will be hosted on my Github portfolio but I will also be doing a little data storytelling about my story research in order to show possible employers that I am very much a serious and capable adult.
