Tim Meko \u201906<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tim<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a world that\u2019s eager to digest complex stories in a succinct, well-designed image, we have Tim Meko, an award-winning graphic reporter and deputy graphics director at the Washington Post. He uses data, design and code to distill the most complicated information into decipherable and often stunning visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a glimpse<\/a> of what he does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how does a Pioneer prepare to shift the paradigm in one of America\u2019s most innovative newsrooms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than anything,\u201d Meko explains, \u201cTransy taught me how to learn. That\u2019s a skill I use absolutely every single day, as I switch from mapping the Rohingya crisis in Burma to diagramming how climate change and wildfires can lead to mudslides in California.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transy…provided me a rock solid foundation in how to solve problems and express myself through writing to physical art to digital code.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He describes how the job requires him to become an instant expert, to determine what is most essential and then to communicate it clearly and creatively.\u00a0 \u201cWithout Transy\u2019s liberal arts focus,\u201d Meko explains, \u201cI would not have the depth or breadth of subject expertise or the ability to solve problems with the flexibility and creativity that I have now.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russell, Ky., native had the freedom to design his own major at Transy, blending creative coding and art with communications courses. After graduating with a B.A. in digital imaging and application design (minoring in studio art and computer science), Meko earned a master\u2019s from Ohio University, specializing in information graphics and publication design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI left Transy with an unbelievable amount of knowledge,\u201d Meko says. \u201cBut more importantly, Transy helped me realize the power of curiosity.  Transy also provided me a rock solid foundation in how to solve problems and express myself through writing to physical art to digital code.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process wasn\u2019t easy. He recalls receiving a D- in his first FLA paper and \u201cspending countless hours perched outside offices patiently debugging code and fleshing out sketches.\u201d He can\u2019t help musing, \u201cWho would have ever thought I\u2019d be writing stories in America\u2019s greatest newspaper one day!?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meko credits professors in a variety of fields for helping him over the hurdles. \u201cThey pushed me creatively and challenged me to think in ways I never had before,\u201d he remembers. \u201cAmong many others, it\u2019s these relationships that really helped supercharge my education at Transy, and I\u2019m incredibly grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
