Prevented Ocean Plastic

Mobirise

I was featured by Prevented Ocean Plastic on their Art & Culture platform.
Prevented Ocean Plastic is recycled plastic collected from coastal areas at risk of ocean pollution.  It was an honour to have my work included alongside their message about combining recycling, awareness and creative approaches to environmental change.

As part of the feature, I shared my belief that real solutions need to include both innovation and accessibility. Not everyone can adopt a zero-waste lifestyle, but using certified recycled materials such as rPET is one practical step toward reducing plastic pollution and creating a more circular system.

Raising Awareness about Ocean Noise Pollution with Blue Ocean Watch

Mobirise

From March 2019 to October 2020, I was  a member of Blue Ocean Watch.
During that time, I created the illustrations for a short animated film raising awareness about underwater noise pollution - an often overlooked threat that affects whales, dolphins and many other marine species. The project aimed to communicate this important issue through engaging visuals and make the science accessible to a wider audience.
It was a privilege to contribute to a project that used creativity to give a voice to marine life and highlight an environmental issue that deserves far more attention.
