Data is all around us and it’s driving how business and individuals make more intelligent decisions. The biggest challenge now is how do we communicate complex analytics to these parties effectively? Justin Richie, a data scientist, walks us through how the data science field is equal parts communication, design and technology. 


Justin Richie is a data scientist and technologist with a passion for using analytics to find the signal in the noise. His career mission is helping organizations understand how data can help them improve. A life-long learner, he's obsessed with learning new technologies and failing fast. As a kid, before data science was even a word, he was just a data nerd analyzing why his football team couldn’t win a Super Bowl. Justin took this passion into his academic studies with an undergraduate degree in Economics/Statistics and graduate work in Predictive Analytics. When not nerding out with data, his hobbies include from music, movies, cooking and writing.
