Graphics & Illustration

Drawing Attention, Sharing Knowledge


Illustrations and graphics can capture attention, communicate concepts, and bring projects to life. These are a few I’ve art directed or designed.

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP FOR MICROBICIDES

For International Women’s Day, the International Partnership for Microbicides wanted to create a series of portraits to honor women who have played a vital role in improving women’s sexual and reproductive health.

I did not draw this portrait of Graça Machel, but I identified the art of the immensely talented Lui Ferreyra as being a great fit for the project and worked with him to produce this drawing.

Unforeseen budget constraints stalled this project, but it’s still an example of a striking social media image that could be used well beyond Facebook.

The story of livestock

I created these little guys for a piece on the story of livestock.

Health + Tech @ SXSW

This series of gifs was created to promote a panel at SXSW on health and technology.

One gif shows how the games on our phones can actually get us up and moving. Another shows the technologies that change the color of light coming from computer screens over the course of the day, allowing people to sleep more easily at night. And another highlights how meal kits can encourage healthy eating. 

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on Social–Emotional Learning

This short social video tells the story of how the benefits of social–emotional learning stay with young people throughout their lives. This was produced both as a video and an animated gif.

WHAT MAKES TRANSIT RAPID?

These illustrations were for a series of social media graphics helping define the characteristics of a strong rapid transit system.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF MINNEAPOLIS

I produced this series of graphics for the Minneapolis Fed’s Strong Foundations conference. They were used on social media in the lead up to the conference and to support related panels during the conference. They were also printed as posters.

Aflatoxin

A graphic showing how a toxin moves through the food chain. I like the character of these small illustrations.

RIGHTS AND RESOURCES INITIATIVE

These images were used on social media as part of a 15-day countdown to a land rights conference in Interlaken, Switzerland. The goal was to get people to tune in the event’s webcasts.
