Scribbling is especially valuable when it comes to data analysis. Simply put, the goal of analyzing data is to find insights and communicate them in an optimal, engaging way. But you don’t reach this goal by first deciding which chart types you want and then adding the data. Saying something like “I will start with a bar chart” and adding data to it is the equivalent of trying to create a masterpiece with a paint-by-numbers set.

Pace charts are an alternative bullet graph design that normalize progress to goal visualizations across KPIs, even if the KPIs have different data formats, scales, and/or seasonal trends.

Elections are exciting times for the data visualization and data journalism field. The innovations in each election cycle set the trend for the future of the field.

A lot of my previous work has been centered around custom maps or mapping techniques within Tableau. I've always been fascinated with FiveThirtyEight's custom electoral-college cartogram used in its 2016 election forecast.

Tableau dumbbell charts, also known as DNA charts, are an alternative visualization choice for illustrating the change between two data points. Dumbbell charts get their slang name from their appearance, which look similar to weights, and sometimes strands of DNA, when they are in a horizontal orientation.

Years ago, one of my colleagues asked if you could eventually learn everything there was to ever know about Tableau. Naively, I said, “Yes.” But I was wrong! I learn Tableau every day.

You've heard from the candidates—but what does the data say? Join us as we explore the data stories behind the US elections.

Só comecei a ficar empolgada em trabalhar com dados depois de me formar. Foi então que descobri como é incrível poder visualizar meus próprios dados. Fiquei encantada com a ideia de contar histórias visuais com dados que eram importantes de verdade para mim. Pela primeira vez, pude ver como os dados se aplicavam à minha vida! Quem me dera eu tivesse descoberto isso na faculdade. Isso me inspirou a compartilhar as seis visualizações de dados que eu gostaria de ter visto naquela época, quando eu ainda era uma estudante universitária.
