Fish can talk.
Here's what they're saying.
Here's what they're saying.
Science reporter Dino Grandoni and I worked together to take this underwater footage of fish communication and bring it to readers. Instead of just naming each species and how it made noise, I wanted to use animated overlays to make the audio data visual. We would be the first people to depict something like this in graphic form, so Dino and I worked closely with the research group FishEye Collaborative to ensure we were properly explaining the new research, identifying each fish species properly, and highlighting the correct parts of their anatomy.

Looking to improve your mental health? Pay attention to birds.
2023 was the year that I got into birds. It was also, coincidentally, the year that the Washington Post published this story about the mental benefits of bird-watching. With the help of illustrator George Wyesol and designer/art director Chelsea Conrad, this animation I created for Instagram won the Society for News Design bronze award for "video stories design."
