What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create accessible visual stories for science, climate, civic, and public-interest communication, bringing illustration, data visualisation, and editorial design to collaborative teams.

I've created illustrated data stories and communication campaigns for AltCarbon, Reuters Graphics, Revisual Labs + UNHCR, and the Centre for Pastoralism. My work translates climate science, displacement data, urban issues, and humanitarian reporting into accessible visual narratives.

At Reuters Graphics, my climate, environment, urbanisation, and conflict stories reached 1M+ readers globally. I combine illustration, data visualisation, editorial design, and spatial thinking, and have commissioned and directed designers, illustrators, and creative developers across print and digital formats.
