Data Viz Today

91: AMA — Creativity, freelancing, dataviz process and more!


Listen Later

In this episode, I answer some common questions I’ve received lately about creativity, freelancing, dataviz process, and more. Let’s go!

  • What platforms would you join when on the look out for a network, freelance projects etc?

  • I want to transition into a dataviz job but not sure where to start?

  • What exactly do you mean by 'creativity' in the context of data and analytics? How can data people be creative?

  • How do you respond to negative feedback of your creative idea?

  • What do you do when you feel unmotivated?

  • How do you handle the feeling of not living up to a client's expectations? I want to be creative and do my best work, but it's a lot of pressure!

  • I feel like I'm stuck in my own bubble when it comes to being inspired. How do I branch out

  • What is a common mistake people make when brainstorming or ideating?

  • How do I know if my graphic is effective or if I should try to be more creative? I’m confused when to keep pushing or if it’s good enough.
