Data visualization designer. Connection-maker who plays with complicated ideas.

@Laava_S @DataVizSociety One of those things about streaming data: it's never the same from one day to the next. You usually have a good idea of what's likely to be in there, but you need to be ready for anything. :)

@Laava_S @DataVizSociety Hi @Laava_S: I design data vis for our data products. We never know what the exact data will look like, so I use Illustrator to sketch out chart options and think through edge cases, and to support our UX prototypes. It's my primary tool for DV at work.

Important things to remember when handling data.

@JotaSolano I don't, but it's because I choose not to, and not because I shouldn't or don't think I deserve it. Seriously, by those rules, what percentage of doctorates are considered "valid" enough to use their title?

I have a new article out with Nightingale, journal of the Data Visualization Society, all about how audience affects your chart design choices:

3 days of smart people figuring out how to put patients first in clinical trials: in terms of diversity, safety, treatment efficacy, longitudinal tracking, earlier detection, and lowering the burden (and increasing benefits) of participation. #MedidataNEXT

[Erica Gunn @EricaGunn]

Exciting conversation about combining real world evidence with clinical trials data in this morning's #MedidataNEXT conference with Sastry Chilukuri from AcornAI and Amy Abernathy from the FDA.

Thank you @iamwill and @IAMJHUD for this powerful video.

Hate has no place in the United States — and on November 3rd we will prove that.

@loususi @SekaiFarai Definitely. I only wish I could have captured the whole thing. =)

Slam poetry meets design theory.

@stlauria Thanks for the suggestions! Will get to work. :)

[Erica Gunn @EricaGunn]

Same data, different chart. Which one would you choose?

Great talk from @mleeblick on synthesizing and aggregating design research. Especially appreciate the distinction between "interesting pattern" and (actionable) "insight." #UXPABos2020

@loususi I didn't include a "none", but I did include the basic charts in the first part of the survey (Twitter only allows 4 poll options total, so I had to hack it). Noted for future surveys, though. :)

[Erica Gunn @EricaGunn]

@jessikawelch A table is definitely easiest in terms of reading quantitative values, but a chart can often facilitate comparison. I find a combination of chart and table is usually most effective.

[Erica Gunn @EricaGunn]

@stlauria Not yet! Working on it; about halfway through the first draft. I draft the early content on my blog, and have also started publishing with the Data Vis Society's publication on Medium. Would love to know what you'd like to see. :)
