About

With the right image, a concept that is difficult to discern can immediately become clear. This is what I am interested in — using visuals to help communicate complex stories and ideas.

I am a Biomedical Communicator, which involves using whatever tools necesssary to help people understand science. Most of my past work has been in medicine — primarily patient, student, or clinician education. I don't restrict myself to that though. Sometimes you read a book about climbing Mt. Everest or you see something weird at the museum and you just need to try to figure it out.

Drawing is a skill that can be learned. It takes years of dedication and practice to draw well. I continue to study every day, and I also enjoy reading books on illustration and design. If you have an idea or problem that I can help with, feel free to reach out.
