Telling Stories with Data

...with some assistance from Python

Visualizations are often used to convey alot of information in a single image. Data is used to tell a story about a particular subject. In many cases these visualizations guide the viewer to form certain conclusions about a situation, what causes certain outcomes and what information may not be meaningful.

The visualizations were constructed using Python developed in Jupyter/Colab notebooks. Most of the notebooks can be found in my GitHub repo.

Important libraries used for these visualizations include Matplotlib, Seaborn, Pandas, Altair and others. Online databases used include Kaggle, Vega_Data and Google Data.
