Nature in DataViz
Hey there! I'm so excited to share with you a recent discovery I made about my passion for data visualization. While preparing for a presentation at the #PublicTUG and reflecting on my work over the past year, I noticed a fun pattern: I tend to draw inspiration from nature when creating my visualizations. For example, I used flowers to decode figure skating, autumn leaves to make a heatmap, and even a fingerprint to showcase the apps on my cell phone.

I also realized that many of my favorite visualizations remind me of natural patterns. So, I put together a Tableau - #NatureInDataViz Gallery. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
