Chie Sazkaki, BI Analyst
Kanagawa, Japan
Chie Sazkaki is a BI Analyst, developing dashboards for clients in the financial industry. Outside of work, she channels her passion for data into art using Tableau, drawing inspiration from Japanese culture and her personal experiences. Chie built her Tableau expertise not just by learning the tool, but by mastering the art of helping people understand data through the rigorous DATA Saber program. Now, she actively contributes to the community by sharing her knowledge through Tableau Public, social media, and her blog, viewing this as an opportunity to pay forward the kindness and insights she has received and support others on their journey.
In the Tableau Community, Chie’s favorite part of being involved is the kindness and warmth of the DataFam and how people from diverse backgrounds connect through the shared language of data visualization. Chie also serves as the host for VizSpace, a unique exhibition that presents Tableau creations specifically as art, encouraging dialogue and sparking meaningful connections beyond traditional data reporting. Looking ahead, she is excited to explore information design, storytelling, and UI/UX, recognizing that as AI streamlines analytical work, the creative and intuitive aspects—the essence of human contribution—will become even more crucial in the world of data.
Connect with Chie on Linkedin and Tableau Public.
