About


I tell compelling stories about science through visuals and have a particular affinity for pharma, med device, and bioethics. I’ve won over 20 awards from prestigious groups including Muse, The Communicator Awards, and the Association of Medical Illustrators.

My work has been published online, print, in peer-reviewed journals and featured in SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater, an Academy-Award qualifying festival. I love to learn, so between teaching myself new software and getting to read about different topics that I need to design for daily, I think I’ve found myself in the right career.

I am a Certified Medical Illustrator with a Master’s in Biomedical Visualization. I am most comfortable working at the nexus of subject matter experts, editors, and creative leads.

I regularly guest lecture at the Biomedical Visualization master’s program at UIC in animation and facilitate a graduate level course in Bioethics. I also take on yearly mentors through the Association of Medical Illustrator’s mentorship program.

Beyond my work, I enjoy playing with my dog, gardening, painting en plein air, and taking on projects to renovate our home (when we really should have hired a professional).
