I make comic-based explainers and illustrations, turning complex ideas and subjective experiences into visual communication with a twist. Some recent projects I’ve created include book Illustrations emphasising the importance of workplace health and safety through a series of gritty and graphic depictions of disability, told straight from lived experience, an animated story-reel informing about an EU-funded scientific project to provide the knowledge base needed to make the political goal of conserving 30% of Europe’s nature by 2030 reality, and a comic outlining key theories from communication psychology as a way to improve discussions about the environment, in collaboration with academics from three universities, published both in scrolling web and print formats. More recently I have had traditional research published in the Journal of Media Practice and Education, and had an animated comic shown at 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). I currently reside in Austria and volunteer as a drawing demonstrator and facilitator with SOS Kinderdorf, an independent, non-governmental organization that provides humanitarian assistance to children in need.
