About me

I am an ambitious scientific illustrator with versatile skills for communicating and visualizing complex scientific concepts.

I design solutions to enhance and promote scientific literacy.

From traditional pen and ink illustrations to 3D printing and animation, there are many ways to approach a design challenge and I love learning and applying new skills.

Really diving into a subject and learning with every project is what I enjoy most about this field. I love the process of collaborating with others and working with experts to find design solutions.
