Glider has been a fantastic partner for us in the data visualisation space. We commissioned them to work with us on a major data project of an ambition that had never been tried before. With very few precedents, and considering the complexities of aid and development landscape, I was surprised and impressed with how the team brought the abstract vision to life, making critical contributions to the experience and design that have made the final product so worthwhile.
The product was not without its challenges, as in many ways we were building the plane as we were flying it – collecting and synthesising the data at the same time as we were developing the interactive. Nevertheless, Glider hit the strict deadline on time and within budget, and the feedback of the product from every angle has been overwhelmingly positive. The final product far exceeds our expectations.
