Very excited to find myself in the #IronViz 2026 Top 10, amidst such great company!

Excited to release our first episode of #UnfinishedVizness for 2026 this week!

My latest viz on @tableaupublic.bsky.social looks at the continuing impact of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. Do we need a reboot?

I was frustrated by my inbox. I read a study, and another, and another. Then I built a viz that looked like my inbox - a bit too much like my inbox! But now, finally, it's finished! Check it out #datafam

In Episode 4 of Unfinished Vizness, Ludo Koelman joins us with a musical take on data visualization — an ambitious Tableau project exploring how music theory can be seen, not just heard. What… Major Chords, Minor Problems: Ludo Koelman Explores Patterns in Music | Ep 4 - Unfinished Vizness

In case you missed it in the end-of-year blur, Ludo Koelman joined us with an unfinished viz focused on music theory. Expect playful exploration, creative tangents, and lots of “what if we tried this?”

Good luck everyone!

Images can really lift a viz, but make sure you have rights to use rhem

I think this is my number one finding from last Iron Viz. Lack of sleep is definitely a disadvantage.

I can speak from experience on that one!!

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #7 👀 Respect the Judges
Make it easy to digest. Explain colours, context, and references right in the viz. The judges shouldn’t need a secret menu to understand your story.

Ever decided to resize a dashboard full of floating elements?

And have you ever correctly predicted the required dashboard length of your Iron Viz entry?

Be kind to yourselves and find ways to minimise the pain!

I've definitely been guilty of going back for more data, right up until the deadline! I'm hoping to avoid that this time.

How do you pick your #IronViz topic?

#UnfinishedVizness is here! 🤩

We had so much fun recording episode 1, and hope you enjoy it.

​@UnfinishedVizness coming soon - your all axis pass to the vizzes that didn't make it...yet. Sounds like...

A dataset with potential.
A design half-formed.
A filter that broke everything.

Unfinished Vizness is for the vizzes that got stuck along the way.

What do you do when a viz gets stuck, #datafam friends?

#UnfinishedVizness is digging into the messy middle of the creative process to show that everyone gets stuck and that troubleshooting is a skill which can also be a team sport.

Looking forward to bringing this to the #datafam

Ever start a viz that felt promising… until it didn’t?
Or hit a wall you couldn’t quite explain?
We’ve been there. We’re building something for that.

Unfinished Vizness — coming soon.

I got to re-visit my presentation from VizIt Sydney for the Team DataFam TUG this morning. Check out the recording on YouTube.

#ReVizIt (I didn't mean to get punny, it just happened, I swear! 🤣)

#Tableau Ambassador nominations are open until July 25th, and I asked #Suno to generate a song to encourage the #datafam to get involved. So here is: #AmbassItOn !

Hey #datafam - Have you tried Adam Mico's VizCritique Pro yet? It's incredible - I'm regretting leaving it on my to-do list for this long! chatgpt.com/g/g-WCvnPr1w...

#VizItSyd was an amazing experience once again. I am incredibly grateful to all of the #datafam for your support, encouragement, feedback, questions, energy, enthusiasm, body guard services, humour, creativity, wisdom and heart. Can't wait to do it all again soon.

If you like puzzles, I recommend trying @jacro28.bsky.social's new viz. And if you don't like puzzles...look, try it anyway. I liked it.
