Visual communication of science, sustainability, environmental conservation and societal change.
Science. Design. Impact.
My mission is to make the transition to a sustainable world visible, accessible and easy – by using effective visual communication.
I always start with the science and study a topic thoroughly. From here I design concepts, visual stories and impactful products, such as infographics, maps, reports and illustrations.
But there is more. I base my designs on models and theories from science communication, environmental psyhology and behavioral change – so they are not just appealing, but also enable change.
Why? Because I believe we should make sustainability (and the science behind it) accessible for everyone – and that honest and simple visuals are essential to achieve this. I create visuals that communicate science, facts and data in an easy way, to make saving the planet a bit more enjoyable.
About me
I’m a Biologist, Science Communicator and Graphic Designer – with a passion for sustainability, nature, and change.
I specialize in visualizing scientific research – with the goal of creating more support for sustainability, conservation and the circular transition.
With experience in the fields of science, journalism and graphic design, I have a unique combination of skills to visually communicate complex, scientific and controversial topics.
How I work
I am committed to work for a better world. I want to bring about a wider uptake of concepts like sustainability, climate change and the circular economy – and draw attention to new scientific insights and innovations.
I start with the science. By diving into the content I can give informed advice, help with building solid communication strategies, and design clear visuals that represent the content in a clean way, without compromising on the facts.
I use the strengths of visual communication. I produce visual communication plans, posters, infographics, diagrams and illustrations. If a product falls outside of the scope of my personal expertise, I have a large network of dedicated freelancers I regularly work with.
