A UK based economic data company start-up gathers price data for a number of years. This price data covers almost every product price in the UK between 1986 and 2016, making it a valuable resource for researchers, students, and consumers.

Our team was approached to bring this price data to life in the form of a price monitor and launch the initiative around the anniversary of a British financial institution. The team worked together with the start-up to study the data, identify user needs, and resolve data visualization complexities. First and foremost, the team sought to develop a way that wouldn't scare away non professionals. The result is an engaging use interface that supports a broad user spectrum, yet pact with tools for those who seek scientific results.
