Skye Morét
USA
Data-driven designer & marine scientist
Skye’s diverse background on the ocean—having sailed 80,000+ nautical miles around the globe—fuels her belief in the power of art and design to engage citizens with nature and science. Her design work investigates the complex relationship between nature and technology-mediated human expectations, experiences, and engagement. Skye’s scientific work focuses on pelagic marine debris and shifting thermal habitats due to climate change. One recent art-science fellowship was a 2019 post at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. Skye is the Design Director at data visualization studio Periscopic and Senior Researcher on TBA–21 Academy’s Ocean Archive project. She is also an Assistant Professor in the Collaborative Design + Design Systems graduate program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. Skye has authored multidisciplinary publications in Science, Slate, Migrant Journal, Popular Science, Roads & Kingdoms, and Public Radio International, among others. www.skyemoret.com
