I HAVE DEVOTED my career to teaching others medical and scientific concepts by translating complex information into beautiful and accurate imagery. Beyond a natural love for science and art, it gives me great satisfaction to develop original dynamic visuals that effectively teach and promote understanding. I take pride in always pushing for the best visual solution, one that accurately tells a story while captivating an intended audience.
