Lisa Strausfeld: Visualizing Data

Lisa Strausfeld is currently Global Head of Data Visualization at Bloomberg where she was hired in 2012 to build and lead a new team dedicated to creating consumer-focused interactive data products. From 2002 to 2011, Lisa was a partner at Pentagram specializing in digital information design projects. Lisa was a recipient of The National Design Award for Interaction Design in 2010. In her presentation, Lisa discusses “Why data visualization? Why now?” — defining the attributes of successful data visualizations and how can they be generalized to other design media.

The School of Information is partnering with the School of Art and Design on this upcoming Penny Stamps lecture, with support from AIGA Detroit -- the professional association for design -- and the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Established with the generous support of alumna Penny Stamps, this series brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the university to conduct a public lecture and engage with students, faculty, and the larger university and Ann Arbor communities.

All programs are free of charge and open to the public.
