Hello there! You are likely here because you watched a presentation of mine and are curious about the resources I talked about. If that’s not the case, don’t worry, you are allowed to follow the links below anyway! If you want to get in touch with me, you’ll find links …
This year’s Tableau Conference is over; 8,000 people are back home and most of them are hopefully inspired and energised or have at least learned some valuable new thing about Tableau and data. For me it was the 3rd Tableau Conference I attended and the 3rd time I fully self-funded …
This is a summary of my presentation at TC23 of the same title, while it was prepared for a Tableau event, it is entirely tool independent; in fact all aspects of it apply similarly to any other solutions you would want to design, websites, apps, products, etc. Below you’ll find …
