Gordon, one of our Data Visualization Developers, demonstrates how he made his most complex viz to-date from his first public viz! From the perspective of a beginner: What the vision was, what the challenges were, and how he overcame them.

By the 6 month mark, the interns have exceeded all our expectations. They have each completed and delivered multiple data analytics dashboards, helped build LiftedViz infrastructure, and project managed end-to-end solutions. They have all passed the Tableau Desktop Specialist Exam and we are excited to officially promote them to Data Visualization Developer I.

For many people, especially those who have more of an artistic bent, Tableau offers the most powerful and comfortable design and development experience. It comes with a price tag that will likely need justification in your organization, unless you are only visualizing public data and can leverage free Tableau Public.

We reviewed four introductory Tableau courses ranging from $0 - $50. Our data visualization interns were each enrolled in one of the courses with the intention of gaining a foundational knowledge in the tool. Here are the results…

Microsoft Power BI is a great tool for the right user and the right use-case. It doesn’t have the design power of Tableau or the ease of use of Google Data Studio, but it’s the clear winner when it comes to fixing up and mashing up multiple data sources.

We reviewed four introductory Google Data Studio courses ranging from $0 - $50. Our data visualization interns were each enrolled in one of the courses with the intention of gaining a foundational knowledge in the tool. Here are the results…

Google Data Studio is a simple tool. It’s simple to get started with. It’s free. It’s simple to learn. It’s simple to use. If you have a simple data story and you’re a small business, and you are beginning your data journey, then Google Data Studio could be the right tool for you.

Our task was simple enough; determine the best way to learn the basics of Microsoft Power BI. We quickly discovered how difficult it is to differentiate between online courses and decide which one(s) to take. So how do you choose?

At LiftedViz, the primary goal of our internship program is to support as many people as we can to build a successful career in tech. Welcome to the team Alexander, Gordon, Glen, and Ethan, and thank you for choosing to be part of the LiftedViz community!

If you are ready to start using dashboards in your organization, one of the first steps is to choose one or more data visualization tools. Licensing prices can and should be a consideration.

When your business is ready to move beyond spreadsheets and embrace data visualization storytelling and data driven decision making, one of the first steps is figuring out which data visualization platform is the best fit for you and your business.

Are you a local Bellingham business that is still running your business from spreadsheets? We’re looking for local bakers or brewers or candlestick makers to provide data for our educational bootcamps so that our workshops have real business people and real business data to work with.

We’ve moved in and are having party! We are excited to announce our first event. We are hosting a Tableau Conference 2021 in-person viewing party on Tues. Nov. 9 from 11:15AM - 1:45PM in our bright new waterfront office space down at the Bellwether in Bellingham.
