Your Instructor
Hello, my name is Chris Lysy. I have two decades of data design experience working with small and large organizations, federal/state government, for-profit, non-profit, and NGOs. I also have experience building, growing, and facilitating virtual learning programs and CoPs.
When I say data design, I mean that sometimes I am designing, sometimes I am doing data work, and sometimes I am doing things in the overlapping region between the two professions. I also cartoon and create a lot of stuff.
