I’m Clair Wyant, an independent Tableau dashboard developer. You work directly with me, the person who builds, not an agency or a handoff. When your data needs structuring first, I handle that too, as needed. But the dashboard is the job. I build executive Tableau reporting across Desktop, Server, and Cloud for mid-market teams, on a project or retainer basis.

Make your slow Tableau dashboard fast again
Your Tableau dashboard takes forever to load, and it only gets worse as your data grows. I find what is actually dragging the workbook down, then rebuild the extracts, calculations, and data model so it opens fast and stays fast. I spent 7+ years running business intelligence in-house at an $800M company, where keeping dashboards fast on enterprise-scale data was part of the work. You work directly with me, the person who rebuilds it, not an agency handoff.
Real Tableau work you can open right now.
Every dashboard on this page is a personal project I built end to end in Tableau, so you can click through real work before we ever talk scope. The credentials back it up. I’m Salesforce Certified Tableau Desktop Foundations, and I ran reporting and BI in-house at an $800M company, where enterprise-scale data, governance, and executive reporting were the daily job. Open any dashboard here and judge the craft for yourself.
The dashboard is the output, not the starting point
Most reporting problems aren’t dashboard problems. The data exists. The problem is that it can’t be reconciled across systems, KPIs mean different things to different teams, or the warehouse was never built to support the questions leadership is actually asking. Tableau is one of the best tools for making data visible, but a dashboard built on a weak foundation surfaces that weakness clearly.
I’ve spent over seven years building Tableau reporting systems, including the in-house reporting an $800M+ organization ran on. The work always starts the same way: with an audit of the data and warehouse, not a design brief. Whether you need Tableau dashboard development on an existing warehouse, a full Tableau implementation, or a freelancer to rebuild reporting that stopped working, the approach is the same: I build the dashboard your team needs, and structure the data behind it when it needs it. Based in San Diego, California. I work remotely across the US, in every time zone and on US business hours; if you are in San Diego, see the San Diego Tableau Consultant page.
Salesforce Certified Tableau Desktop Foundations
Tableau that performs under real data
I spent 7+ years running business intelligence in-house at an $800M company, so I build Tableau for the problems that actually slow teams down. That means marketing dashboards wired straight to Salesforce, slow workbooks rebuilt to load fast on large datasets, and monthly reporting moved off brittle Excel files for good. When a dashboard crawls or a spreadsheet breaks every close, I fix the data model behind it so it stays fast as the data grows. You work directly with me, not an agency or a junior handoff, from San Diego and remote with clients across the US.
A few dashboards I've built as personal projects
Anything I build for a business would stay private to that business, so these examples all use public data I can show in full. Each one uses the same approach I'd bring to a paid project: get the data model right first, then build a view that answers a real question and holds up when a team actually uses it.
How a Tableau project works
Audit
The data and the warehouse first: where sources disagree and where the metric logic breaks down.
Model
Lock metric definitions at the source so every dashboard reconciles.
Build
The Tableau layer, built on a foundation designed to support it, plus documentation.
Connects to your data sources, wherever they live
Microsoft SQL Server
Enterprise database
Google BigQuery
Cloud data warehouse
Google Analytics 4
Web analytics
Google Cloud

$800M+
organization, reporting built in-house
Most freelancers build to your spec and hand it off. I spent years on the other side of the table: I owned the reporting, lived with the metric drift, and answered for the numbers when leadership asked. I build dashboards like someone who has had to stand behind them.
Is this the right fit?
Right when
- The same metric returns different numbers depending on who pulls it
- Leadership doesn't trust the dashboards enough to act on them
- You've outgrown fragmented, one-off reports and need something analysts can build on
Different scope when
- The data is clean and the warehouse is sound, and you just need extra hands on Tableau builds
- You need a single chart or a quick fix rather than a full reporting system

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Tableau consultant cost?
It depends on scope. A focused dashboard build or audit runs as a fixed-price project; ongoing work runs on a monthly retainer. Most engagements start with a short call to size the work before any number is quoted.
Do you work in Tableau Desktop, Server, or Cloud?
All three. Desktop for authoring, Server or Cloud for publishing, sharing, and governed access. The right setup depends on how your team consumes reporting and where the data lives.
Do you build on our existing data warehouse or start fresh?
Whichever fits. If the warehouse is sound, I build on it. If the reporting problems trace back to the data foundation, that gets audited and corrected first, so the dashboards reconcile.
Can you fix or optimize dashboards someone else built?
Yes. Rework of existing Tableau workbooks is common, whether the goal is performance, reconciled metrics, or a cleaner design on top of the same data.
How long does a typical Tableau engagement take?
A single dashboard or a focused audit is usually two to four weeks. A full reporting system from audit through delivery takes longer. Scope gets defined in the first call.
Do you work as a Tableau freelancer or a consultant?
Both describe the same work. As an independent Tableau consultant, or freelancer if that is the term you use, you work directly with me, the person building your dashboards, with no agency layer in between. Engagements range from focused Tableau dashboard development on an existing warehouse to a full reporting-system build.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I'm based in San Diego, California, and work remotely across the US, covering every time zone and keeping US business hours.
Can you build Tableau dashboards for a marketing team working with Salesforce data?
Yes. I build Tableau dashboards for marketing teams that pull directly from Salesforce, so campaign, pipeline, and revenue data land in one place instead of a pile of exports. I connect Tableau to your Salesforce objects, model the data so the numbers reconcile, and design views your team can actually read. I also work in GA4, BigQuery, and Looker Studio, so paid, web, and CRM data can live in the same reporting layer.
Can you speed up a slow Tableau dashboard?
Yes. Slow Tableau usually comes from the data layer, not the charts: bloated extracts, live connections doing too much work, or calculated fields that recompute on every interaction. I profile where the load time goes, then rebuild extracts, calculations, and the data model so the dashboard opens fast and stays fast as the data grows. If your workbook takes too long to load, that is almost always fixable.
Do you build Tableau dashboards on large datasets?
Yes. Large datasets are usually a modeling and extract problem before they are a design problem, so I set up the data source, aggregations, and extracts so Tableau stays responsive instead of timing out. I spent 7+ years running BI in-house at an $800M company on exactly this kind of volume. Whether your data sits in BigQuery, a warehouse, or flat files, I build the layer that lets Tableau render it fast.
Can you help me move my reporting from Excel to Tableau?
Yes. I migrate reporting out of Excel by connecting Tableau directly to your data sources, rebuilding your key spreadsheets as live dashboards, and setting up extracts so the numbers refresh on their own. The goal is to end the monthly copy-paste and give you reporting that updates without anyone rebuilding a file. I keep the metrics you already trust, so the switch feels familiar instead of like starting over.
Do you handle the data architecture behind a Tableau implementation, not just the dashboards?
Yes. A Tableau implementation is only as good as the data feeding it, so I design the layer underneath: data sources, the model, joins and relationships, and extract strategy. I can build on your existing warehouse or set one up, and I work across BigQuery, GA4, Looker Studio, and Google Search Console. You get a Tableau setup structured to stay fast and accurate as you add data and users.
Can you pull Google Search Console data into a dashboard?
Yes. I build Search Console reporting into Tableau and Looker Studio and combine it with GA4 and your ad platforms, so SEO, paid, and analytics sit in one view. I gave a 2026 BrightonSEO talk on exactly this: using Search Console with Tableau to build the view Search Console won’t give you.
Can you fix a Tableau dashboard that runs slowly on large datasets?
Yes. Slow usually comes from the extracts, the calculations, or a data model that was not built for the volume you have now. I dig into what is dragging the workbook down and rebuild those pieces so it opens fast and holds up as your data grows. I bring 7+ years of running business intelligence in-house at an $800M company, where keeping dashboards fast on enterprise-scale data was part of the job.
Have you actually spoken at BrightonSEO?
Yes. I gave a 2026 BrightonSEO talk in San Diego on using Google Search Console with Tableau: building the SEO view Search Console will not give you on its own. I do that same work for you directly, connecting Search Console, GA4, and your ad platforms into one Tableau or Looker Studio dashboard, with no agency and no handoff.
