Peter McKeever

A great starting point is StatsPerform’s Peter McKeever who gives great insight in to how to make better data visualisations.

Peter has an excellent website with code and further examples. He also mentioned in the talk the blog by Lisa Charlotte Muth.

Maram AlBaharna

Maram creates unique visuals using from football data. In this Friends of Tracking episode, we talked to her about how she works.

The work she did online landed her a job at The Athletic.
