About my illustrations
Since early graduate school, I have been fascinated by using images to communicate about science. My illustrations have appeared on journal covers, in textbooks, in biotechnology curricula, and on scientific knowledge resource websites. Additionally, I have designed a number of study and department logos.
I work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Procreate to create vector and pixel-based two dimensional illustrations in a cartoon-realism style. I also work in traditional media to create realistic illustrations, though as of yet I have not applied these media to scientific concepts. I currently am learning to work in Blender, Nomad Sculpt, and Cheetah3D along with traditional protein modeling software to create three-dimensional illustrations.
