A quick overview of two techniques from design thinking that can help us better tailor data visualizations to the needs of our audiences. Personas can be used to identify illustrative audience members who represent large groups within our target audience, and journey maps help us understand how an audience receives, interprets, and acts on information. The illustrative example presented here is rooted in a real world experience, but is not an actual persona and journey used in that work.]]>
