Background

About Anu Vijayan

I’m a researcher by training and a communicator by passion. I have spent the last five years helping scientists and organisations turn complex data into stories that connect, influence, and create change. I have used my Science Communication skills across research, government, and community sectors from helping councils to develop their Biodiversity strategy to converting complex work health and safety data to engaging infographics and videos. Along the way, I realised that even the most important research often falls flat not because the work isn’t valuable, but because the message isn’t landing. I specialise in helping researchers and changemakers simplify their message without dumbing it down. I teach storytelling techniques that make your data relatable, your message memorable, and your voice heard whether you're speaking to funders, policymakers, or the general public. What I bring: – A researcher’s mindset with a communicator’s heart – Practical experience translating science into public messaging – A decade-long career in graphic design and visual effects, giving me the technical skills to create videos, animations, and infographics that amplify science communication in the digital world – Workshop facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and story coaching – A deep belief that evidence-based voices should shape our future If you care deeply about your work but are struggling to make people care about it too, let’s connect.
