Avocado Sales Dashboard

I completed a Data Visualization course at the University of Washington focused on visualizing unique data sets with JavaScript and D3. As part of my final project, I worked with a team to import and clean an avocado sales dataset to discover significant trends from 2015-2020. In another assignment, I extracted a dataset of Disney films to find which genres are most popular (highest grossing) and display how their most popular genre's income changed over time.
