AMANDA DILLON MERRITT

I am a graphic designer focused on creating accurate and engaging illustrations for ocean science, education, and conservation. With a background in science communication, I work collaboratively with scientists and educators to develop effective visuals that enhance scientific research and support natural resource conservation. As I draw feathers on birds and fins on fish, I am grateful to be on the Big Island where I can catch a glimpse of native birds on a mountain trail and bright reef fish along the coast. When I’m not aligning designs, I’m underwater looking for manta rays, hiking the hills, bookworming, or eating nachos.
