Miles Cuminskey, Data Visualization Consultant at The Information Lab
New York, USA

Miles Cumiskey is a Data Visualization Consultant at The Information Lab. They utilize Tableau both professionally, to develop dashboards and lead training for a transit authority, and personally as a creative outlet. Miles’s Tableau journey began under pressure when they had just one month to learn the software for a job interview by creating a visualization about dog breeds, and they quickly mastered the platform through hands-on practice and on-the-job mentorship from colleagues. Today, they are actively involved in the community, supporting in-person events for the DataPrideNYC Tableau User Group (which features creative sessions like Jeopardy-style Queer trivia) and presenting on screen-reader accessible dashboards for the Accessibility TUG.

Driven by personal experience with dyslexia and hearing issues, Miles is a passionate advocate for accessible design. They believe creators can better prioritize accessibility by experiencing their own work as a user with a disability would, such as navigating without a mouse, using color-blindness simulators, and testing different scales. Miles loves sharing knowledge through lasting, shareable blog posts and TUG presentations, and they were thrilled when their method for generating alt-text through captions was cross-shared between user groups. Looking ahead, Miles is focused on creating a comprehensive guide for start-to-finish accessibility in Tableau. This upcoming resource will cover WCAG compliance, dashboard design best practices, and actionable screen-reader examples, serving as a valuable asset for the entire "DataFam" community.
