Greenwich Library – Making Data Click: Creating Visuals That People Understand (Online)

Many of us work with data regularly, but turning it into clear, meaningful visuals can be a challenge. Whether you’re a professional, business owner, educator, nonprofit staff member, or simply someone who uses data to inform your work, creating charts that communicate clearly can make a significant difference in how your ideas are understood and acted on.

In this practical, beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how to transform confusing charts into data visualizations that are clear, effective, and engaging. Through real-world examples, we’ll explore common pitfalls and simple design principles you can apply right away – no advanced tools required. You’ll leave with a straightforward framework for creating visuals that highlight what matters most and help your audience quickly grasp key insights.

By the end of this session, attendees will:

• Understand why clear data visualization is essential for effective communication
