WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Turn design principles into better decisions.

Learn how to structure, simplify and guide information using practical principles you can apply to dashboards, reports and data products

Create immediate visual clarity

Learn how to structure information so users can quickly see what matters, understand what is happening and know where to focus their attention.

Guide attention intentionally

Use visual hierarchy, contrast, positioning and emphasis to control the reading path — instead of leaving users to figure out where to look.

Reduce cognitive load

Identify unnecessary complexity, visual noise and competing information. Learn how to simplify without removing the context people need to make decisions.

Apply the 5C Framework

Use Clarity, Consistency, Cascade, Cognitive Load and Control as a practical framework to evaluate and challenge your design decisions.

Build visual consistency

Create coherent patterns across pages, reports and data products so users don't have to relearn how to navigate and interpret information every time.

Redesign a real challenge

Apply the EAST approach to a real example, justify your design choices with clear principles and leave with techniques you can immediately reuse in your own projects.

Built for you

Who is EAST for?

For professionals who want to turn complex data into clear, consistent and usable visual experiences.

Business leaders & decision-makers

You rely on data products to make decisions and want to better understand the design principles that make information clear, usable and trustworthy.

Data, BI & Analytics professionals

You build dashboards, reports or data products and want stronger design principles to structure information, reduce complexity and guide user attention.

UX, UI & Data Designers

You understand design, but want to strengthen your approach to data-rich experiences — where hierarchy, context and decision-making create very different design challenges.

PRACTICAL BASED MASTERCLASS

A full day to rethink how you design information.

Move from visual intuition to intentional design by applying clear principles, the 5C framework and practical exercises to real-world data experiences.

09:00 — Why dashboards fail visually

Explore why dashboards can contain the right data and still fail to communicate. We’ll look at cognitive overload, weak visual hierarchy, inconsistent design choices and the common patterns that make information harder to read and decisions harder to make.
