Labonie Roy

I am a designer, illustrator, and artist, working towards creating engaging learning resources for children and adults. Growing up, I spent most of my time peering among plants for bugs, collecting leaves, petting every passing dog, and devouring every nature book and documentary I came across. Not much has changed since then, except that I now share my passions with others through my work—whether it’s creating classroom tools or writing children’s books about the natural world. My background in Sociology and Anthropology paired with my experience as a learning resource creator helps me weave together stories that celebrate curiosity, representation, and our connection to nature.

Through my work, I aim to bring out the child in everyone—the child that asks way too many questions and won’t rest until they’ve figured out “why!” As Managing Editor of Art and Design at Current Conservation, I look forward to building on CC’s incredible foundation of science communication through art, and exploring how art, design, and conservation can come together to create magic.
