This is my public portfolio for a course I took at Heinz, Telling Stories with Data, Spring 2022.
Hi! I’m Julia. I am in Pittsburgh, where I have lived since I graduated from college in 2016, but I’m from New York. Before I started grad school, I worked in affordable housing for City of Bridges Community Land Trust for 4 years, and I’m currently also a research analyst at Fourth Economy. When I am not working, I’m either playing guitar, walking my dog on the north shore trail, or playing guitar for my dog.
I hoped to learn how to make data visualizations that look cool and help people process important information quickly. I feel that I did! When I graduate I want to use these skills to inform advocacy and decision-making for mission-based organizations.
Selecting a topic and finding data.
Showing draft visualizations to some patient users for feedback.
Putting it all together and making it into a story.
