Description

When selecting charts to showcase data, many people simply pick from the few choices available in Excel or other such software. This can be highly limiting, and can result in the selection of charts that fail to effectively convey whatever you're trying to communicate. This course can help you think more strategically about your data, and provide you with the tools you need to pick the best visual display for the type of data you're working with—and your ultimate communication goals. Main topics include getting to the key idea you're trying to communicate; finding the right standard chart for your data type; and brainstorming and experimenting to come up with alternatives to the standards.

Instructor's Courses

Data storytelling, information design and data visualization combine three distinct parts of me - the journalist, the designer and the technologist. I speak at conferences and lead in-person workshops for clients and the public on data storytelling and visualization - why it's essential in today's world and how to really communicate effectively with varied audiences. I also work with clients, and love listening to their challenges, exploring their data and processes and helping them deliver compelling messages via interactive and static visual experiences. Clients include various US Government agencies, United Nations, World Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Starbucks, American Express, and many other world-renowned organizations.
