Visual communication for people doing meaningful work.
I create thoughtful, human-centered visual design for change-facilitating therapists, and change-making organizations—whether that means capturing your practice in a website or capturing a live conversation in images and words.
Clearer ideas. Stronger connection.
Good design helps people understand what matters.
Sometimes that means creating a website that helps a prospective therapy client feel understood before they ever make contact. Sometimes it means listening to a room full of ideas and turning them into a visual map people can see, remember, and use.
My work sits at the intersection of design, psychology, facilitation, and visual storytelling.
Two Ways to Work Together
Websites for Therapists
Thoughtful Squarespace websites for therapists and group practices.
I help shape the structure, visual identity, language, and client journey so your site feels warm, clear, and aligned with how you actually work.
Includes: site strategy, page design, copy refinement, typography and color, mobile optimization, basic SEO, and launch support.
Graphic Recording
Live visual notes that make conversations visible.
I listen to keynotes, workshops, meetings, and facilitated conversations and translate the ideas into an engaging visual record in real time.
Graphic capture helps groups see connections, remember what mattered, and leave with something tangible they can continue using.
Why Merit Illustration
Design that listens first.
My approach is grounded in careful listening, pattern recognition, and making complex material easier to understand without flattening it.
Whether I’m designing a therapist’s website or capturing a room full of ideas, the goal is the same: help people see what matters more clearly.
Have something you want people to understand more clearly?
Whether you need a website that reflects your work or a visual record of an important conversation, I’d be glad to hear what you’re working on.
