Met Nadieh praten we over haar tijd op het VWO en hoe ze tot de keuze is gekomen om van Almelo naar Leiden te verhuizen om daar Astronomie & Kosmologie te gaan studeren. We vragen natuurlijk ook naar haar carrière-stappen, ze is gestart bij Deloitte, daarna naar Adyen gegaan om in 2017 de stap te maken als freelancer. Eerder dit jaar heeft ze samen met Shirley Wu het boek ‘Data Sketches' uitgebracht. We vragen hoe het idee ontstaan is om dit boek te maken en wat er allemaal komt kijken om zo'n prachtig boek te maken. Het voorwoord van het boek is geschreven door Alberto Cairo en wij zijn heel nieuwsgierig naar het hoe en waarom dit zo gekomen is. Afgelopen maanden heeft ze de FAB-Academy gedaan, waarbij ze iedere week een nieuw project moest opleveren en wij zijn heel nieuwsgierig waarom ze dit heeft gedaan en wat ze allemaal heeft geleerd. Op het moment dat we met haar spraken liep er een online-veiling van het nieuwe DataArt werk van Nadieh en ook hier hebben we haar gevraagd hoe dit zo gekomen is. We sluiten ons gesprek af met haar nog even te vragen naar haar hobby: Rollerskaten Interessante links over Nadieh: · Volg haar op Twitter: https://twitter.com/NadiehBremer · Volg haar op Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nadiehbremer/ · Volg haar op LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nbremer/ · Haar website met haar projecten: https://www.visualcinnamon.com/ · DataArt veiling: https://foundation.app/@Nadieh · Het boek Data Sketches: https://www.datasketch.es/ Heb je vragen, opmerkingen, tips of andere opbouwende feedback voor ons, laat dit ons dan weten via: michel@datavoorstellingen.nl of ben@datavoorstellingen.nl. #dataliteracy #datadriven #dataviz #datavisualisation #datavisualiseren #datadesign #storytelling #design #designresearch #dataart #fabacademy #visualcinnamon #datasketches

Before choosing your logo, or launching your product, one of the first steps of starting a business is finding your business "why". Purpose can be one of the ultimate differentiators. To quote Simon Sinek, "people don't buy what you do or how you do it, they buy why you do it." In this episode we sit down with Yulia Stark, founder of the Fab Academy, to understand how individuals can identify the purpose behind their business.Follow Yulia on Instagram @yulia.stark or visit her website at https://www.yuliastark.com Follow Yvonne on Instagram @yvonneivaescu or visit her website at https://yvonneivanescu.com
