Luckily, this skill is not magic, but where science meets creativity. If you are worried you don't have a creative bone in your body, Design Mind for Data Visualization is here to bridge the gap.

She's been at the table many times, whether it be for productivity tracking, project management, etc., acting as a bridge between data-based conversations and the creative perspective.
