Hello, I am Rowen.

Welcome to my page. Here you can get to know me a little. But first, the introduction:
I'm Rowen Forman, creative programmer and data specialist. My work centers around the creation of interactive systems using data. The marriage of the power of data with the investigative capability of interaction is what I personally find the most beautiful. Have a look at my work and see how my journey fares.
