Context — Democratizing Data Analysis

Survey users often faced the frustration of having valuable data but being unable to extract meaningful insights. Existing analysis tools were too complex for non-technical users or too basic for advanced use cases.

Results visualization in Suonper was born to bridge this gap, allowing anyone to understand and communicate their survey findings effectively.

My role focused on designing an experience that transformed raw data into clear, actionable visual narratives.

I have all this data but I don't know what it means or how to present it to my team.

The Problem — Data Without Context

Users had access to survey responses but lacked tools to transform this data into useful and presentable insights.

Data without context

Research & Discovery

We interviewed data analysts, researchers, executives, and occasional users to understand how they consumed and presented survey information.

Users Interviewed

28 participants

Chart Types Analyzed

15+ formats

Use Cases Identified

20+ scenarios

Key Findings

Insights that shaped the visualization

Data narratives

Need for Narratives

Users wanted data to tell a story, not just show numbers.

"I need the data to tell me what's happening, not just what numbers I have."
Presentation flexibility

Presentation Flexibility

Different audiences required different levels of detail and types of visualization.

"For my team I need details, for the board I need summaries."
Contextual interactivity

Contextual Interactivity

Users wanted to explore data without getting lost in complexity.

"I want to be able to click on something and see more details, but without being overwhelmed."

Solution Strategy

The solution focused on creating intelligent visualizations that automatically suggested the best chart type and narrative for each dataset.
