The Nature of Things with David Suzuki

The Nature of Things

Infographic - DESIGN - ILLUSTRATION

documentary series hosted by David Suzuki

Between 1979-2023, this CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) documentary series was hosted by renowned environmentalist David Suzuki (now helmed by two new hosts). Each documentary features a deep dive into one of the amazing aspects of our natural world. I am so pleased to have been able to contribute the visual infographic to accompany several of these docs, which are available on the webpage for each associated episode.

The design of an infographic starts with a plain text doc sent to me, with autonomy to pick, choose, edit and organize the data, stats, facts and interesting information into an evocative and fun graphic.

I work around the world in beautifully diverse countries, cultures and contexts with all their associated histories. It is important to me to understand and learn about the legacies of these places and people who have come before, both as part of my work professionally as well as personally. Knowing the stories of the land I’m on helps me gain a deeper understanding of people and place, and is a never-ending learning experience.

I now live on an island known as Montréal. It is the traditional, ancestral and unceded land of the First Nations, dating back by at least 5,000 years, and probably longer. The word Montréal is thought to be derived from the French name for the mountain (Mont Royal) on the island. However, for much longer, it has been known as Tiohtià:ke, meaning “where the boats and rivers meet” in Kanien’kéha, and Mooniyang (ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ) in Anishinaabemowin, and is home to around 35,000 people who identify as Indigenous.
