I loved being part of the Tableau Community and getting to know people through regular practice and viz review. Participating in Makeover Monday helped me improve my design, analysis, and storytelling. As a result, I understand that the only limitation to my progress is me. Thanks to my portfolio made with the help of Makeover Monday, I got a new job, which I love. It’s been a free space to experiment and get feedback. I decided to try it out as an additional challenge to develop my skills and connect with others working with the same technology. This initiative completely changed my life and helped me build my skills and meet so many amazing community members who took part every week.Īnastasiia (Asia) Komissarova: I have participated for 20+ weeks. Because of Makeover Monday and the feedback that I received from Eva Murray and Charlie Hutcheson, I went from not knowing anything about data visualization and Tableau to starting my career at The Data School. The viz that shows the most progress I’ve made is Safe Houses in Tanzania. I continued to learn along the way with every week and each viz I created. My first submission was on Berkeley Course Offerings. When I first began, I was a complete Tableau beginner.

I wanted to learn Tableau and visualization best practices and get involved with #MMVizReview to get feedback to continue improving and preparing for my application to The Data School. Priya Padham: I have participated in Makeover Monday since I first discovered Tableau in March 2020 after a recruiter told me about the software. Andy Kriebel SeptemWhere were you then, where are you now, and how did Makeover Monday help you along the way? Thank you for their help through the years. After this week, MM is going on an indefinite hiatus.įor this week, we go back to my viz from week 1. We asked a few Tableau Community Leaders to reflect on the impact it has had on them. While there will be no new weekly data sets and walkthrough visualization sessions, the influence of this community project continues (just take a look at all the comments on Andy’s tweet).

In September, Andy Kriebel shared that Makeover Monday was going on an indefinite hiatus. The results of this project have been astounding: When you search #MakeoverMonday on Tableau Public, you’ll see over 10,000 vizzes-perfectly illustrating the highly variable nature of data visualization. The challenge was to create a better version of the visualization in your own creative way-to either find a way to tell the data story more effectively or to discover something new in the data.Īndy Kriebel and I during our first-ever live Makeover Monday at Tableau Conference in 2016. Each Sunday, the team posted a link to a chart and data set. Hosted by Andy Kriebel and Eva Murray, it became an inspiration for the data viz community to learn and improve their data skills. Who knew this email would trigger so much?

Before this, he'd been doing makeovers on his blog for several years, but I suggested we try it out together for a while. I found the first email I sent to Andy Kriebel from November 13, 2015, about turning it into a thing. The goal was to feature a weekly chart or graph and a data set that community members could reimagine to make it more effective. It began with a simple email and a social data experiment to see how different people would interpret the same data set.
