"[Amoroso] has brought to the forefront a visually exciting way to view information that has spatial, creative and suggestive outcomes. With a background in landscape architecture, urban design and architecture, she crafts maps as some kind of landscape form perceived by the data type. Maps as metaphor, the data as metaphor, map as art, data as art." – Richard Saul Wurman, Information Architect
Nadia uses creative mapping to visualize and reveal hidden pattern, signularities and conditions to understand understand the data and make wiser planning and overall design decisions.
