WELCOME TO DATA DOZEN

We turn data into knowledge through visualizations.

Data Dozen is a visual analytics studio that brings data to life. We blend art and logic to create beautiful graphs and intuitive dashboards that uncover the stories hiding in each data set. Specializing in hands-on workshops and engaging presentations, we teach professionals and students how to effectively communicate with data.

HERE’S OUR GOAL

We’re on a mission to democratize quantitative information. 

As data proliferates, the ability to understand and interact with a data set is quickly becoming a fundamental part of literacy. With each dashboard we build and presentation we deliver, our goal is to make quantitative information accessible for everyone, regardless of how technical their background might be. Working with professionals and students alike, we’re on a mission to empower the data analyst in all of us.

MEET ERIN WALDRON

Unparalleled enthusiasm that audiences adore.

A poetry major turned data analyst, Erin’s approach to analytics is firmly rooted in the humanities. Her visualizations draw heavily on her storytelling and design training, with a steady eye on the intended audience. An exceptional teacher, inspiring speaker, and fully-fledged data geek, Erin founded Data Dozen to make data analysis more approachable. Based in Kansas City, her humanist approach and unwavering enthusiasm continue to set Data Dozen apart.
