Ocean Ecology

Illustration

Infographic design and illustration that supports research, engages audiences and celebrates the stories of our seas.

From celebrating the research of passionate scientists to educating the public on marine habitats, creatively combining art and text can convey lots of information whilst keeping it cool and digestible.

I have worked with the likes of Greenpeace, Wageningen University and Car y Mor Kelp Farm, creating eye-catching pieces that inspire action, educate and bring people closer to a place of care for our oceans.
