Cara Thompson

Founder Data Visualisation Consultant @Building Stories With Data

Edinburgh, GB

Helping others maximise the impact of their expertise by crafting intuitive, compelling and memorable data visualisations.There are two main strands to my consultancy work, which allow me to meet clients where their data needs are- crafting intuitive data visualisations and clear narratives to help end users engage well with patterns in data- creating bespoke solutions which automate data processes and free up time for experts to focus on their area of expertiseNo matter the scale of the project, I find real joy in seeing faces light up when something obscure becomes plain, when a process that took days is reduced to minutes, and when people feel confident in their understanding of their own data. Whether you’re after a polished dataviz, a clear data-driven story, an automated data pipeline or a detailed report that updates itself whenever you feed it new information, I’d love to help you make the most of your data.
