Featured Creature
I grew up living for animal facts and about the research happening around them! To put my graphic design and science communication skills to the test, I designed and created a flyer series called "Featured Creature" about cool animals and even cooler researchers and conservationists. I featured animals of all sorts (invertebrates, vertebrates, marine, terrestrial, etc.) and diverse graduate student researchers. Click on any animal below to learn more!

Moths

Ochre Sea Star
