Research, web UX,  web UI, Design direction
Cuttlebase is a scientific toolkit for the dwarf cuttlefish, sepia bandensis. Cuttlebase host a set of tools for the scientific community: a brain atlas, body atlas, developmental staging series and genome.

As the UI/UX designer for Cuttlebase, I transformed complex scientific research on the dwarf cuttlefish into an accessible, visually rich digital ecosystem where researchers can utilize powerful scientific tools and the public can explore interactive experiences—bridging the gap between specialized knowledge and public engagement.
