Explore my Visuals: Selected Public Dashboards

When I was actively creating Tableau visualizations for the general public, they were frequently identified as worthy of note by Tableau themselves. Several of my pieces were selected as "Viz of the Day," and others were included in galleries intended to highlight and showcase the flexibility and potential of that particular software.

Chosen By Tableau as Viz of the Day

landfall / close call

This is a multi-stage visualization about hurricanes, cyclones, tropical storms, and tropical depressions, using IBTrACS data (which combines 10 different observation stations' input to create a globally-aggregated best-estimate storm track for every tropical event since 1850). With gridded population data from CIESIN (splitting the world into squares 30 minutes on a side, or about 1500 square miles), I determined which populated areas on Earth had spent the most total days directly under the center of a hurricane or tropical storm. Subsequently, I created a visualization whereby viewers could select any city with population of 1 million residents or more, and see how many storm centers have tracked within 50, 100, or 250 miles of that city.

Most Dangerous Places

As part of a collaboration with the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project, I created this geographic visualization. It combined gridded population estimates with ACLED's conflict event database to determine which places in Asia and Africa had the highest rates of mortality due to political conflicts.

Malaria in Zambia's Southern Province

This visualization used simulated data from the Visualize No Malaria project to show the decline in malaria cases within the Southern Province of Zambia.

Tableau Follow Friday

This visualization chronicled the history of a two-year-old campaign to promote undiscovered design talent and get more people connected to a broader network of data visualization professionals and enthusiasts.

The American Political Universe

This visualization depicts the ideological leanings of every U.S. Member of Congress in history, through the mid-2010s, based on DW-NOMINATE scores.

ASSUMPTIONS

This visualization is an interactive tool meant to raise awareness about the lack of racial crossover in American surnames, and the unconscious

Any Given Sunday

This visualization explores differences among the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, specifically relating to the likelihood of teams' playoff successes based on regular season performances.

Now You're Speaking My Language

This visualization is about the most valuable second language to learn, based on analysis performed in conjunction with Michael Brinn.

Oil and Gold
