Marlene Dorgny is a French information designer who discovered data visualization after a client once asked her, “how can we make this table look nice?”
She found a discipline where analysis meets design, where meaning comes before beauty, and where form serves substance.
For Marlene, diving into data, uncovering the story behind it, and structuring it into clear and useful insights is always a fascinating journey. Her process blends curiosity, analytical rigor, and a strong sense of visual clarity.
Overview of the Riot Girl project
In 2018, she began visualizing a book about the Manchester music scene, told through personal testimonies of people crossing paths, connecting, and making music together. This project sparked a lasting passion for network mapping — a way to show relationships, encounters, and collaborations through data.
Today, her work continues to explore how thoughtful design can transform complexity into understanding, combining narrative and structure to make information both accessible and engaging.
The dataviz Riot Grrrl project explores the feminist punk movement that emerged in the early 1990s in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
A data-driven network map revealing the web of relationships that shaped Manchester’s vibrant music scene from 1976 to 1996.
