    87: How to Navigate the Complexities of Neurodivergent Creativity — with Andy J. Pizza May 30, 2023
    Show notes

    As data people, we tend to be more logical and analytical, which makes navigating creativity's ambiguity a little tricky. So I called on Andy J. Pizza to help us out. To me, he is creativity personified — illustrator, author, podcaster, and more! He's worked with big clients like The New York Times and Nickelodeon, and has a new book coming out where he illustrates "invisible things."

    In this episode, Andy shares how his ADHD has become his superpower in his creative work, the little tricks he's found that help him create, how he sees critique in a new way, and he shares his three phases of inspiration. Plus, Andy predicts what will be necessary for creators of all kinds in a future full of artificial intelligence. Even though he's not a dataviz designer, you'll see many parallels in your work. Let's go!

    In this episode, I share the framework that helps me decide when to stick with "best practices" or try a new approach in my visualizations. We explore four key variables: the reader's time and patience, the need to capture attention, past struggles conveying a concept, and the designer's available time and resources. Let's go!
