This month, we’ll be exploring the role of a Data Visualization Designer! Everyone is talking about big data these days and there’s so much of it around, but how can we consume it in a meaningful way? This is where a data visualization designer comes in - they help take that data and find ways so insights can be made from the information. In terms of UX, there’s a balance of visual design, UX design, information architecture, and strategy involved.
Our guest speakers for this session is Ari Sanoff an Information Architect at Truven Health Analytics (an IBM Company). He will talk about data visualization design, his journey into this UX role, and he’ll facilitate an activity with the group.
