About

I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, and science communicator. I specialise in Visual Science Communication, which brings together science communication with graphic design and illustration to create engaging, accessible, and understandable resources for various audiences. My work includes illustrations, scientific figures, infographics, reports, visual abstracts, logos, + more! If you’re in need of someone to help make your work more understandable and visual, get in touch: send me an email at amyedozier@gmail.com.

I hold an MSc in Environmental Sustainability from University College Dublin and BA in Art History and English from the University of California, Santa Barbara. My background and experience weaves together visual communication (graphic design and illustration), environmental science, and education (teaching, presenting, and communicating), and I have worked for schools, universities, and museums.
