Role - UX design manager
Targeted User - Data Professionals
Goal - Improve existing and add new features to Tableau's core product suite.
As fun as it is to work on the latest and greatest products, it's just as important to keep making our core products better for our users. Many of my designers work across various feature teams to incrementally improve the UX of Tableau Cloud, Tableau Desktop, and Tableau Public.
New viz types, Sankey and Radial: Visualize your data in new ways with new visualizations available in the marks card. No more complex calculations and workarounds.
