ABOUT ANDY KIRK
I’m an independent data visualisation expert based in Yorkshire (UK) primarily working as a data visualisation design consultant and prolific trainer. I am a sought-after speaker, a three-times published author, and host of the ‘Explore Explain’ video and podcast series. I’ve had over a decade of experience as an adjunct lecturer positions teaching data visualisation modules on Masters programmes at a range of esteemed institutes and maintain academic activity through involvement as an external consultant on various research projects.
I am the editor and founder of visualisingdata.com which was launched as a blog in 2009. Since then the site has grown to become a popular reference in the data visualisation field for new enthusiasts and experienced practitioners alike, offering written discourse, collections of resources, design references, and contemporary examples.
Since founding Visualising Data Ltd in 2010, I have worked with a wide range of clients, including Apple, S&P Global, Arsenal FC, Google, EU Council, and Pfizer. I have conducted over 370 public and private training courses in 27 different countries as well as virtually.
I have delivered post-graduate teaching as an adjunct lecturer at MICA (2013-2017), Imperial College (2016-2018), and at University College London (UCL), co-teaching a data visualisation module on the Business Analytics masters programme at the School of Management (2019-2024). I have authored three books, with the most recent published by Sage in 2019 and titled “Visualising Data: A Handbook for Data Driven Design (2nd edition)”. A third edition is being published late 2024.
