I’m an illustrator and graphic designer with over a decade of experience creating visually compelling illustrations for educational programs, textbooks and technical applications. I specialize in bringing complex scientific concepts—particularly in biology and environmental science—to life through clear, engaging illustrations and designs.
Collaboration is at the heart of what I do. I’ve worked closely with authors, editors, researchers, and design teams to create materials that not only educate but inspire. I’m passionate about using art to enhance learning and spark curiosity, and I believe great design has the power to make the magic of the natural world accessible to everyone.
I’m always excited to take on new challenges, work with creative teams, and contribute to projects that make a meaningful impact. Let’s create something amazing together!
