BIO
I specialize in the design of videos, motion graphics, infographics, and diagrams for high-dollar science proposals. inom also illustrate cover art for many high-profile science journals. Past covers include Nature Nanotechnology, Neoplasia, and Materials Today, to name a few.
My love for scientific illustration and graphics began at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and continued at Arizona State University, beginning in 2014 at The Biodesign Institute, where I worked as a senior multimedia developer and then later as an art director for Knowledge Enterprise, specifically Research Development. I have a master's degree from ASU in Graphic Information Technology, which I earned in 2017. My experience in marketing and advertising, which I believe is critical in understanding proper information-based graphics for science applications, affects my design strategy. I focus on impact and persuasion as a method of measuring success.
