Teaching Data Visualizations
I have taught 100’s of students the principles of visualizing data across organizations ranging from small non-profits to Fortune 500 companies. Constantly learning has allowed me to publish visualizations with over 10,000 views and I want to ensure that I share my knowledge. As my focus shifted from data visualization to application based design, I have continued to teach groups, teams, and individuals. I have extended my training to include aspects of UX research, UX design, and Figma basics.

Teaching
I believe that learning should be fun. The more entertaining a class is, the more likely students are to retain the information. I always use quirky data, helping to increase student attention. This data ranges from UFO sightings, to the estimated intelligence of dogs, to Bigfoot sighting. Designing a class is similar to UX design. They both depend on knowing and empathizing with the audience and users. In both scenarios I am creating a user-centric experience.
