Shirley Wu Yuichi Yazaki The world needs to hear it!

the talk I poured my heart into this year “take up space” will be translated into Japanese and showing at #datavizjp on Dec 30th 🎊

I grew up partially in Japan and it’s a huge part of who I am today, I’m so excited to hear thoughts & reactions—tysm Yuichi Yazaki for this 🙏

Just got a Merry Christmas shared with my family, who offered me this treasure from Nadieh Bremer and Shirley Wu 💛🧡🩷🩵 I can’t wait to get started learning and getting inspired!

Also this year, elizabeth lin 🦄✨ launched “The Art of Visual Design”. It's a super-fun comprehensive course that covers UI design fundamentals. It's project-based, with lots of hands-on practice opportunities. ✨

I really like Sarah Drasner’s book, “Engineering Management for the Rest of Us”.

It's written in such an approachable way. I'm not even looking to become a manager, and I found myself turning page after page!

This one might be a bit hard to justify to your employer, depending on your role, but “Data Sketches” by Shirley Wu and Nadieh Bremer is such a wonderful guide to data visualization. Fantastic read. 💯

currently out of town and won't get back for another 1.5 weeks but so looking forward to getting my hands on my own copy that I will forever keep and barely be able to read 😂

Thrilled to have received my own version of the Chinese translation of Shirley Wu 's and my book 'Data Sketches'💃😃

A version of our book that I will forever keep, but will never be able to read 😬

I'm missing people (sorry for any @-mention spam!)

I guess we were really tired from setting up and tearing down my #infoplus2023 exhibition bc we fell asleep at 11:30pm and woke up at 11:30am—30min before we had to check out from hotel 😂

black-out curtains are so dangerous

Amazing work!! Besides the art piece itself, I also really enjoy reading the posters.
