Designing a Data Visualisation Engine: Putting Data Power in the Hands of Users

In this session, Daniel Dungyov takes you beyond designing charts — to building a flexible Data Visualisation Engine that empowers users to explore, analyse, and control their own data insights. Learn how to balance giving users freedom with necessary limits to ensure usability, accessibility, and performance at scale.

Daniel will share the designer’s unique role in this journey — from crafting a two-year vision, aligning business attack vectors, to hands-on execution alongside a dedicated team of seven. Together, they built an enterprise-grade analytics tool that rivals products developed by whole companies and large engineering teams over years.

Discover practical lessons, trade-offs, and best practices for designing complex data products that truly put the power of data visualisation into the users’ hands. Whether you’re a UX designer, product manager, or researcher, this talk will inspire you to rethink data visualisation — and design engines, not just charts.
