I am a graphic and interaction designer with web development and illustration skills. With my work, I aim to shape content and communicate complex issues through compelling design solutions. My hope is to seamlessly integrate design, technology, data and illustration in order to craft tools and experiences for educational, collaborative, and journalistic purposes. Ultimately, I strive to translate research and tell stories, especially regarding scientific concepts and public policy issues, in memorable ways.
