This section explores data visualization projects which explore different ways to surface actionable insights for users through intuitive visual design
Power BI is a business intellegence tool used to create dashboards and data visualizations. Through my work, I created designs using Figma and Adobe XD to mock up Power BI designs, creating interactive data visualizations for large tech clients. After a consultation with our Fortune 500 clients, listening to their requirements and pain points with their current solutions, I work together with our clients and our development team to create an experience that both meets the clients' needs, as well as adhering to technical limitations of Power BI The referenced designs are generic examples of Power BI visualizations made on my own time Confidentiality is of high value to our clients, so the examples posted follow in the spirit of client requests rather than reflecting their specific business requirements. I have included three example designs. One Stand-alone light theme dashboard, intended to be used in a set of reports. The user can navigate from report to report, modifiy their filters on the side panel, and view important KPIs as the first items in the page. Different tabs and sub tabs allow the user to see organized information. One dark theme dashboard with similar design considerations. The Navigation and KPIs have been moved to the sidebar in this example, Allowing the filters to take up the top portion of the page. This configuration is often advantageous when there are many filters to avoid scrolling. The final design is a simplified layout, meant to be used in embedded views. It strips down the sidebars and provides more space for the data.
As a final project for a Data Visualization class, my team and I designed a network to compare The similarity of pieces of media to each other. We used TVtropes, an online database collecting literary devices in books, movies, and other media. Tropes encompassing concepts of cliches, common plot stuctures, character archetypes, nd other recognizable parcels of media. TVtopes assigns names to these tropes, providing an easy way to classify and compare components of media. Thus, our network compares the presence of tropes in stories to determine a work's similarity to another work. This is represented graphically, as more similar works are located closer to one another. Connections represent a connection of at least one trope. Showcased here is a comprehensive report on the construction of this visualization, and a link to a download.
