Pour Decisions is a data visualization project that maps personal decision-making through cocktails. The brief was to identify an aspect of everyday life and translate it into a clear, graphical system.

I tracked how four parameters, mood, time of day, base spirit, and drink type, influence my choice of cocktail in a given situation. Each drink is mapped through these variables using a Sankey diagram, allowing the viewer to follow the decision trail from mood to final choice.

Mood functions as the primary organizing theme, with colour coding used to group decisions into five emotional states. The project explores how subjective, intuitive choices can be structured and understood through visual systems.
