Hi, I’m Hana and I specialize in data visualization and analytics, enjoys public speaking and helping people present informative visualizations that leads to ACTION.

I started my journey into the data analytics and visualization world as a researcher in geography. After attending a few conferences, I quickly realized that just reading through my results wasn’t enough and many other researchers at the conference failed to provide context and telling a story around their data.

But even while my research was in the exploratory phase and in a super niche field, I was able to garner interest and win a presentation award by creating both informative data visualizations and presenting a story about the data that they could follow.

Common Problems I See

When I moved into the tech industry working for a Fortune 5 company, I noticed the same mistakes being made by professionals with reports and presentations:

• Not setting up the context ➡ Your audience is lost, confused or making assumptions about the context and the big picture
• Poor visual aids (or none!) ➡ You lose your audience’s attention
• Inaccurate or misleading charts ➡ You lose credibility and authority with your audience
• Not answering the ‘So what?’/ ‘why should we care?’ questions ➡ Your audience doesn’t know what you want from them or what they should be doing/acting upon

Because ultimately, as humans, our interest is piqued by a story that answers the ‘So what?’ question.

You can be a data visualization pro or a confident public speaker and have presented a hundred times in front of audiences, but in the long run none of that will matter if you can’t help your audience understand why they should care.
