Dashboard Designer
Overview
This skill provides a structured approach to dashboard design—from defining the right KPIs and audience through information architecture, visual hierarchy, color coding, and tool selection. A well-designed dashboard surfaces the right information to the right person at the right time. This skill combines data visualization principles with UX thinking to create dashboards that drive decisions, not just display data.
When to Use
- You're building a new dashboard and need to decide what to show and how to arrange it
- An existing dashboard is cluttered, ignored, or confusing to users
- You need to choose between BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Grafana)
- You want to design a KPI framework before building the technical implementation
- You're presenting data to an executive audience and need to structure the narrative
When NOT to Use
- Writing SQL queries to power the dashboard (use sql-analyst skill)
- Building chart code in Python/JavaScript (use chart-builder skill)
- Creating a static report or slide deck (use a presentation skill)
- Designing the underlying data model or warehouse (use a data engineering skill)
