Commission a science explainer
I make interactive web pieces and illustrated essays about science. Deep time, cosmology, evolution, the living world. The same register as If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel.
I work solo, incorporated in Australia, with professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If your organisation needs an explainer and has a budget to commission one, I’d like to hear about it.
