I design custom science communication pieces for research publications, education, and outreach.

The act of branching academic and public spheres of knowledge has become a central focus of mine – what do scientists choose to communicate, how do they communicate it, and how can I help?
​
I have been privileged to work for clients in a variety of disciplines such as marine biology, oceanography, microbiology, oncology, and patient health, among others. My favourite part of my job is that my clients are experts and passionate in their field. When they explain their research, I learn something new and can then help share that knowledge with a wider audience using visuals.

​Working with Molly on the illustration for our Globe and Mail advertorial was a highlight of 2024. Molly brings both exceptional talent and scientific rigor to the pieces she creates. She works closely with the clients and is careful to integrate scientific and cultural specificity into the works without sacrificing the visual integrity. Molly is extremely professional and reliable. She follows realistic timelines, is very clear and concrete in her own expectations, and is a keen listener. Incorporating Molly’s work into the Globe and Mail spread created a marked increase in the reach and impact of the piece. It would be a pleasure to work with Molly again – she is a rare talent.

​Working with Molly has been a wonderful experience! The quality and calibre of her illustrations is exceptional—not only will visitors to our exhibition leave well-informed thanks to the rigour and attention she applies to scientific accuracy in her work, but they will also be delighted by the appealing and charming nature of the various species she illustrated. Molly’s noteworthy skills extend beyond the artistic into the organizational, with her ensuring all project logistics ran smoothly and efficiently. Communicating details and feedback was a pleasure given Molly’s pro-active and highly responsive approach. We are thrilled with the final products and are looking forward to working with Molly in the future!

I have worked with Molly on a number of projects now and am continuously impressed by her abilities as a scientific artist and as a collaborator. Molly is prompt, professional, and detail-oriented. She has produced a range of effective visual products for my research group including published scientific figures, logos, and animated graphics. Molly ranks among the best collaborators I have worked with, and I would not hesitate to recommend her professionally.

Molly is a very talented artist and a pleasure to work with. She has created a number of detailed pieces for CPAWS-NS depicting important ecological areas in Nova Scotia, and the results have been fantastic! Looking forward to working with Molly again in the future.
