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!) 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, I 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
