Drawing with Data: Reclaiming Joy Through Data Art
Lately, I’ve been creating in Tableau not to analyze—but to draw. I started experimenting with polygons, shapes, and layers, recreating patterns I saw in Bauhaus art or on Pinterest. It became a joyful, unexpected outlet. No KPIs, no dashboards—just creativity.
Now I’m turning it into a weekly practice. Each week, I’ll share an image that inspires me and a Tableau piece I created from it. If you’d like to join me.
