Head of Data Visualization Enablement
Flourish/Canva
From the moment Lyndsey first encountered a chart in her high school economics class, she realized the incredible power of data visualization to explain complex concepts and tell insightful stories.
This passion led her to begin her career with the UK Government's Economic Service and earn an MSc in Economics. Specializing in data visualization and storytelling, she later spearheaded this field at the Bank of England.
Now, Lyndsey holds her dream role as the Data Visualization Specialty Lead at Canva and Head of Data Visualization Enablement. Despite significant advancements in data and analytics, she often sees a common challenge: many skilled professionals struggle to effectively communicate their insights.
While companies have made great strides in data literacy, analytics and AI, but they often lack the tools and skills for that crucial final step—effective data communication. Without strong data storytelling, all the effort in data preparation and understanding can go unnoticed.
Lyndsey's mission is to elevate the standard of data storytelling, helping professionals recognize its true value and understand the tools that simplify the process. Through her extensive work with a diverse range of clients, she has developed a straightforward data storytelling framework. By applying key principles from this framework and using user-friendly tools like Flourish, you can significantly enhance the impact of your data.
Join Lyndsey as she shares her expertise and insights on raising the bar in data storytelling, ensuring your findings and stories are communicated clearly and compellingly.
