Build a Unique Data Viz Portofilio with Judit Bekker | Tableau Conversations

Judit's most-viewed viz isn't the one that represents her — and that single insight reframes how you should build a data viz portfolio.

  • Order your Tableau Public profile by your best or most representative work, not by recency or popularity — your most-viewed viz is rarely the one that actually represents you.
  • Treat a portfolio web page as a gallery of static images plus links rather than embedding live Tableau dashboards, because images scale reliably across every browser and device while embeds do not.
  • Curate ruthlessly: Judit had over a hundred vizzes but showed a compact, wide-ranging selection so visitors aren't overwhelmed.
  • Over 40% of portfolio traffic now comes from mobile, yet most poster-style vizzes were never designed for mobile — a strong case for image previews over forcing a mobile layout.
  • Working in other tools like Google Looker can make you appreciate Tableau's design finesse, while reframing fonts and formatting gripes as minor compared with reporting and data-modelling problems.

Building a portfolio as data analyst is tough but it’s equally important to be deliberate about how you showcase it! In this video, I talk to Judit Bekker about her portfolio, the considerations she made when building her portfolio and some of the small tidbits and decisions she made along the way to arrive at a design that gives her room to grow whilst showcasing her work in the way she would like it seen.
