About Erin
Erin Jade Turner (PhD Visual Communication) is a visual communication and information design specialist working across practice, research, and education.
She works with complex and consequential material because she finds it genuinely interesting and because how it is communicated matters. She is drawn to the richness and complexity that comes with working closely with the material and the people who author it.
Erin values client relationships that are creative, intellectually engaging and genuinely collaborative.
She practices a humanist approach to design and visualisation. Content and data are not simply presented, but interpreted, structured and communicated in ways that connect with people, build meaning and understanding, and reflect the contexts in which it is used.
Erin is based between Sydney and Reykjavík
