DATA SET: Data Visualizaton Society, SOTI 2021 Survey

Being new to Data Viz I was excited to learn more about this community of thinkers, researchers and designers, and to discover what makes them tick. With that in mind, I focused my analysis on attributes that would help me to get a better sense of who’s in DV, what their career pathways look like, and their joys and frustrations along the way.

I was curious to learn how much schooling people in Data Visualization have, and how their education level affects their career satisfaction. I opted to amalgamate data within the container of Education with the aim of creating a series of impressions that might bring insight.

My visualizations are designed to be snapshots. I chose the metaphor of preparing a meal; exploring and analyzing data sets feels like choosing ingredients and assembling them into something delicious. One should be able to look at the illustration and get a sense of this person’s experience as it compares to that of others in the sequence. Everything you see in each illustration represents a piece of data (link to a pdf of my data analysis below each illustration). Use the legend to the right to interpret the artwork, or simply enjoy them as eye candy. Your choice!

I’m looking to make friends in the DV world, so reach out if you like the work!
