INTERACTIVE VIZ When I was growing up, my family told me I could be anything I wanted to be and do anything I wanted to do. I never once doubted that I could be a woman in STEM. I had strong female role models throughout my education and even when I was the only woman… Continue reading I is for Inventors
INTERACTIVE VIZ I've placed a 50p bet on the Grand National every year since I can remember. When I was little, Dad would hand the paper round for us all to pick a horse and would put his 50p in with mine, my sister's and my mum's to form "the pot". The winner of the… Continue reading H is for Horses
INTERACTIVE VIZ Last week, it was Adam's choice of topic and he went with G is for Games. We decided that we would leave the definition of "Games" quite broad as we both had different ideas of what to do for it. Adam produced a great viz and blog on the medal hauls of Athletics… Continue reading G is for [board] Games
INTERACTIVE VIZ On a cold, clear night in November the bonfire crackled and popped, my sister and I had just finished the toffee apples that we'd had to beg for and the firework display was about to begin. I can still see the glow on my dad's face as the bright lights erupted in the… Continue reading F is for Fireworks
INTERACTIVE VIZ This week's Explorer theme is brought to you by Adam @greenynorfolk Green. Adam chose this topic as a way to "explore" a school topic that his son is studying and I love his end result! Now, my only children are of the canine flavour, so they tend not to get homework and their only school… Continue reading E is for Explorers
INTERACTIVE VIZ When we began planning for the Alphabet Project, Adam and I decided that we would each pick alternate topics. I knew I wanted to pick Beer, so Adam went first with Artists. I won't lie to you, some of the choices were limited (X is for...??), but my first two were easy selections.… Continue reading D is for Dinosaurs
INTERACTIVE VIZ When Adam told me that he'd chosen "Colour" as our third topic for the project, I knew exactly what I wanted to do (which was a relief after B is for Beer!)Â If you look through my Tableau Public Profile, you'll see a lot of short format dashboards that answer a very specific… Continue reading C is for Colour
INTERACTIVE VIZ When I embarked on this project with Adam, I knew that I'd struggle with some weeks. I just didn't expect it to happen so early on. Beer was the first topic that I thought of 18 months ago and I've been looking forward to it ever since. But when it came to dropping… Continue reading B is for Beer
INTERACTIVE VIZ Music has always been a huge part of my life. I'm not ashamed to say that my first album was The Smurfs Go Pop, which I played it 'til the tape snapped; I can still remember all of the dance moves to One For Sorrow after spending my pocket money on the CD single; and… Continue reading A is for Artists
At the end of TC18, I looked back over my Tableau Public profile and was disappointed to see that nearly all of my published vizzes were contributions to Makeover Monday. Now, don't get me wrong, IÂ LOVE the project and have run sessions at work to get others involved. I'm proud that I contribute (albeit less… Continue reading The Alphabet Project
