Hi! I’m Vicky Bowskill, a scientist, writer and illustrator with a passion for creative science communication, creating unique visuals to communicate and celebrate our precious natural world. I specialise in translating environmental concepts into appealing and accessible visual summaries to engage wider audiences and increase impact.
Currently a part time PhD researcher at the Open University, I’m studying the sustainable management of floodplain meadows to find the best balance for nature-friendly farming and biodiversity conservation. You can find out more about this over on the Blog.
I’m available for select commissions so please do get in touch with your projects and ideas at vicky@vickybowskill.com.
