Francisco Cardoso — Data Visualization Designer
A few years into working as a Marketing Content Creator, I was handed a spreadsheet and
asked to build a social media report. Nobody warned me I would enjoy figuring out how to
clean the data, pick the right charts, and fiddle around with UX/UI problems nobody had
spotted. Something had sparked that I hadn't expected, and that was enough. I was hooked.
Since then I have been building solutions to data problems of all shapes: helping people
see and understand their data, cutting out manual work that shouldn't exist, and putting
together custom platforms that actually fit how teams work with data.
