Let's examine the availability of designated dog park locations within the 5 boroughs in comparison to the volume of licensed dogs by zip code. What NYC neighborhoods pass the sniff test and which ones just lay down and roll over.

Initial Insights
The first part of the assignment was to find some preliminary datasets regarding your topic of interest for the project and then create either a dashboard or a data story using Tableau.
Sketching
The next step in the project was to sketch 3 designs that will become the final design. I utilized post-its in an effort to have the ability to create quickly rearrange dashboard components in order to find the desired layout.
Prototype (Sketch)
After deciding on the layout, I proceeded to design a desktop version of the dashboard with Sketch. You can dismiss the notification, select the plotted map to toggle the infobox example, and scroll through the "Top Dogs" carousel.
