I had a blast learning my coworkers’ music tastes. Find something that intrigues or excites you? Add it to the viz!.I would often try to include something interesting I was finding in the data: “Hey Matt, how’s the Prep workflow going? Also, I had no idea you were also a big Arctic Monkeys fan!” It was especially nice to have a low-pressure reason to reach out to your teammates. Keith and Kendra gave incredible guidance and advice from their experience working on this project last year. Chelsea worked design magic, while Matt and Brandon helped with the concepts and data cleansing. I could not have made this viz without the help of Chelsea Morgan, Keith Dykstra, Brandon Nelson, Kendra Allenspach and Matt Whiteley. But it’s nice to remember there are real people out there, and they’re excited and invested in what you’re working on. Get excited and get your coworkers excited with you! There are thousands of articles on the internet, in business journals and in textbooks that stress the importance and benefits of having a good work culture (here’s one from Forbes just to prove I’m not lying). Make it fun! This can get tricky in a work environment, but see if you can do a blog or viz to highlight the culture of your company. Choose a topic you are interested in and find other people who share your interest!.So here they are-a few tips from me (a real living, breathing person) to you (another real living, breathing person): So, while there are plenty of tricks and tips I could share about the creation of this visualization, what I really want to share are the tips and tricks for connecting with real people through the data visualization process. But the best part was certainly the connections I made during such isolating times. Yes, getting to think about music more than I already do was awesome. As a musician and a data analyst, there are few opportunities more fitting than this to work on.Īnd let me tell you, it has been a blast! But not for the reason I expected.
I was eager to get involved in this project ever since seeing the first one over two years ago. Every year, InterWorks puts out an analysis of our collective Spotify Wrapped data.
Instead, I want to focus on what so many of us have been craving recently: connection. So, I’ll try to avoid mentioning 2020, Ni or quests for shrubberies. Using Data Visualization to Connect During the Pandemic Rather than sounding like a good joke, many people will forever react to hearing “2020” the same way characters in Monty Python and the Holy Grail react to the “The Knights Who Say ‘Ni!’”. A year with so much potential for puns (think: hindsight is 2020, 2020 vision … if only) turned out to be quite different. Born organically out of a hobby Slack channel, The Sound of InterWorks reveals the music that powers our work and how we share that with others.
