“I appreciated that we learned about no-code tools like Flourish so that we could dive into creating visualizations ourselves. I worked on a data story with my team right after the training and we applied all the principles we learned. I’d definitely recommend this training. It’s very hands-on, and the trainers tailor the training to everyone’s needs and experiences.”
