Speaking

I love teaching others new things, to open their eyes to something they didn’t know was possible. What I love the most is therefore to make others enthusiastic about something that I’m passionate about, which in this case is the visualization of data. To make them change their ways, even slightly, the next time they come into contact with it.

Nadieh, data scientist, set the bar for data visualization extremely high by showing stunning ways to derive meaning from giant sets of data. A very inspiring showcase where science meets art & design

Over the past few years, I’ve created several talks that aim to inspire & teach about different facets of data visualization. From more general topics such as showing different ways to go beyond the default to create more effective visualizations, to showing the design process of some of my most elaborate projects. But I also like to go in a bit more technical to explain more expert points, such as how to take SVGs beyond the norm.

I also used to give the occasional workshop about creative data visualization techniques, but I’m afraid that I’m no longer giving workshops.

Nevertheless, all my talks are filled with various forms of data visualization eye-candy to show the audience that there’s probably a lot more possible in the realm of data visualization than they knew. I also like to show them that data visualization can be fun and that it’s not just about the data, but also about the story you want to tell and the emotions you want to evoke.

My presentations

Feel free to contact me if you’d like me to come and speak at an event, meetup or another gathering of people. Below you can see the current talks that I could give. Hopefully, one or more will fit with your audience.

I’ve given the following talks in the past as well, but I find that they’ve become too old or outdated for me to give anymore. Still I’ve added them here for reference:

Videos of my talks

Here are a few videos of the talks I’ve created over the past few years, during the very first time I’ve given them, which I feel is the most nerve-wracking moment you can have with a talk. But afterward, you also have the best adrenaline rush.

Past talks & workshops

Below you can find a list of all the public talks and workshops that I’ve given. I also give presentations in-house at companies, but I’ve only placed the company events below where non-employees were also welcome.
