Data Freelancer Profile

Neil Richards

Neil Richards

I’m an award-winning data visualisation and data fluency professional with a little over three decades of experience. Over the most recent of those three decades I’ve been able to channel that passion and enthusiasm to be able to add author, speaker, blogger, deliverer of workshops, content developer, trainer and non-profit Director to the list (among many other things).

I cover the full data visualisation spectrum: my personal work and data visualisation portfolio focus on the combination of joy and skills derived from data art, creativity, experimentation and innovation, culminating in my published book Questions in Dataviz and many conference presentations around the world.

My professional focus has moved from delivering high quality professional Tableau dashboards through to the fields of enablement, community building and training, on to focusing on data and dashboard users, delivering data and AI literacy and fluency initiatives, in order to foster data culture and help organisations with their data informed decision making.

If I can help, advise, collaborate or deliver for you on anything across the data visualisation and storytelling range, I’d love to hear from you!
