UX and data visualisation workshops
We’re running a series of online and in-person workshops from our data design studio at Makerversity in Somerset House, London.
At Applied Works, we’ve spent over two decades working with organisations such as the BBC, Chatham House, the United Nations, and Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management to communicate complex, policy-driven issues through clear, engaging digital design. Our work sits at the intersection of data, editorial thinking, and user-centred design, helping organisations inform, engage, and influence diverse audiences.
These workshops are a practical extension of that experience, designed for teams working with data, building digital tools, or looking to strengthen how they communicate evidence and insight. They’re ideal for people working with data who are seeking guidance on how to effectively engage their audience. No prior design expertise is required.
Whether you're looking to build better tools, sharpen your storytelling, or drive change with data, we’d love to support you.
