About
New learnings unveil humanity’s shortcomings – how do they feel?
Gabrielle Merite. Proper noun. Scientist powered by plants and activism.
She is not: a graphic designer with 30+ years experience or qualified in fine arts. She is: a Science graduate, creative, analyst, advocate for humanity, cat lady and feeling awkward writing this at the third person.
For truth-seeking, ethically-driven organisations, I am here to humanise statistics. *Really* personalize findings. And elicit lasting emotional connections by creating original, empathetic illustrations. My style is a melodic collision of strategic creativity, human emotion and scientific precision. Data collected from people, transformed and presented for people.
I believe, the faces behind the figures matter. In places where numbers are usually found, I use faces. Because subjects aren’t dots. Quite often, they’re people. Like you (and me). Offering a collaborative approach, I become a member of your team, breathing life into numbers so your audience truly *feels* their importance.
