Just Arrived!
👋 Hi!
A few years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to work as a research engineer at the Queensland Brain Institute in Australia – a role that I absolutely loved!
My main responsibilities revolved around assisting researchers with their analysis tasks and addressing numerous dataviz inquiries.
One recurring challenge stood out among the rest: researchers often approached me with the question:
Yan, I have this dataset. What type of chart would best represent it?
My response typically followed a consistent pattern:
Assessing the available chart options.
Determining the most suitable choice among them.
Highlighting common pitfalls to avoid.
This is when I decided to create data-to-viz.com: a comprehensive platform offering a structured classification of chart types based on their input format.
Beyond mere categorization, the website also provides practical use cases and links to chart examples created using R, Python, or Javascript. Additionally, it features a gallery addressing common dataviz pitfalls.
To encapsulate this endeavor, we've crafted a visually captivating poster.
A few weeks back, we completely sold out of our posters after moving more than 250 units! But I'm excited to share that we've finally just received a fresh batch!

Whether you aim to enhance your office ambiance or surprise a colleague with a geeky gift, these posters are sure to elevate your dataviz experience.
I truly hope you'll find this project as exciting as I do! Among my various dataviz creations, this one holds a special place in my heart. ❤️
Warm regards,
Yan
