Motion & Data Visualisation Editor
Marcus Chen is the Motion & Data Visualisation Editor at Digital Pulse, where he covers the role of animation, motion design, and data visualisation in digital marketing and web experiences. With nine years of experience at the intersection of design and technology, Marcus has worked as a motion designer at a leading creative agency, a data visualisation consultant for media organisations, and a senior product designer at a marketing analytics platform. This diverse background gives him a comprehensive understanding of how visual communication — whether through animated interfaces or data-driven graphics — can enhance user engagement and convey complex information effectively. Marcus studied Animation at the National Film and Television School before completing a Master's in Information Design at the University of Reading.
His particular interests include the principles of motion design for web interfaces, the design of marketing dashboards that actually inform decisions, and the strategic use of whitespace as an active design element. At Digital Pulse, Marcus brings both creative and analytical perspectives to his coverage, helping readers understand not just how to implement visual techniques but why certain approaches are more effective than others in specific marketing contexts.
