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

Through her work, she aims 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, she looks 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. When she’s not painting at her desk, you can find her watching cartoons or exploring the outdoors with her dog.
