Profile
I'm a designer and researcher exploring visual communication tools and methods in the environmental domain. Over the past years, I have been working on multidisciplinary research projects alongside scientists at Loughborough University, University of Leeds and University of Porto.
My current research aims to investigate more effective communication tools that can convey the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on marine systems in a way that encourages pro-environmental actions. The work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for quality education, climate action, life below water and partnerships (SDG 4, 13, 14, 17) and the United Nations 2021–2030 Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
