🎁 That's a wrap!

👋 Hi there!

It’s July 5th, and it’s officially time for me… to take a break! 🎉

I started writing this newsletter last September, and wrote 45 issues since then.
​
It does not sound much, but that's actually a big amount of my Saturday time invested to write those little dataviz tips and tricks. ☺️
​
If you liked them, why not sharing them with a friend? Or even better, write me a little testimonial in 10 seconds.

What a Year!

Alongside my consulting work, I built a few tools that could help you:

🎮 A Dataviz Design Game​
🎨 A Color Palette Picker​
👀 Visual explanations of statistical concepts (p-value, r2)
🚀 Built 3 online courses (R, Matplotlib, Ggplot2)
🏆 Won a dataviz challenge​
📊 Visualized the different types of data professionals​
📝 Wrote hundreds of graph examples in R, Python, and D3.js
☀️ Created a quarto template​

It’s been busy, fun, and I hope it helped you a bit!

​

Thank You ❤️

This community has grown to 12,000 newsletter readers and 21,000 daily LinkedIn followers. For a niche topic like graph-building, I never expected that.

Even more amazing: you've been 1,500+ joining my online courses, which allows me to do this work full-time.
​
I’ve also received countless kind messages and testimonials. And honestly, that’s what matters most.

So… thank you. Truly.
​
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What’s Coming Next

I’m taking the summer to recharge, but here’s a sneak peek at what’s brewing:

🧭 Finish writing ggplot2 Uncharted with Cédric Scherer. It's really in-depth and thus takes time.
​
🖼️ Online Data Art Gallery. A passion project with Marthe Viallet I’ve wanted to create for years. If you’re a data artist, I’d love to display your work!
​
🛠️ Portfolio Builder. A no-code tool to help you build a personal data portfolio (like mine) in minutes. Want to beta test? Just reply!

How Can I Help You?

This is the part I care about most:

👉 Should I keep writing this newsletter?
👉 Should I focus more on tech? dataviz theory? career tips? or JavaScript?

I’m taking two months off to step back and think things through.
​
If you have feedback or ideas, I’d love to hear from you!

See you in September!
