Mareika PhillipsMareika Phillips is an experienced graphic designer. Now at Communicate Health, she leads the team that develops creative design solutions to make health information engaging and accessible.

  • What to consider when creating or choosing pictograms. With tips about characters, colors, symbols, and using a consistent style.
  • Why and how to convey empathy through visuals in health materials.
