How Kamil works with data
Kamil joined Frakcja Info in June 2021. Previously, he designed charts for smaller news portals for 4 years. With us, he makes sure the state budget is clear to everyone who doesn't have a PhD in economics. He turns boring and long PDF files into graphics that show pure facts. He does it without fluff and unnecessary colors.
In the whole of 2023, Kamil prepared exactly 124 infographics about taxes and Parliamentary spending. We checked it at the source – his charts on electricity prices helped 83 people understand where specific amounts on their bills come from. He doesn't believe in ornaments. If the data is bad, he draws it simply and brutally. Simply concrete.
- Preparing a chart from a new act usually takes him 6 business hours.
- He verifies every number in two different databases before drawing the first line.
- He uses large fonts because 47% of our readers check information on old smartphones.
Sometimes Kamil argues with the editorial staff over a single comma in a budget table. If he thinks a graphic might mislead someone, he can delete the project and start from scratch at 7:00 PM. He's not interested in decorations that just take up space. It has to be clear, fast, and on point. That's all there is to it.
Outside of work, Kamil follows local government spending. In his free time, usually on Thursdays, he analyzes reports on his city's budget execution. Thanks to this, he has already caught 3 errors in official brochures sent to residents. To be honest, he's the type of person who trusts an Excel table more than promises in front of a camera.
