With five+ years of experience in medical and scientific illustration, I specialise in transforming complex medical information into clear and accurate visual materials. My background in graphic design, combined with a Master’s in Forensic Identification, has made me a versatile medical illustrator capable of creating professional visuals while managing complex layouts to meet faculty and scientific requirements. I have a track record of delivering high-quality work on very short timelines; at Medscape, I produced approximately 1,000 individual illustrations per year while collaborating with major stakeholders such as Pfizer, Moderna, L’Oréal, Dexcom and the Heart.org.

When not at work, I love to hike and explore the outdoors with my husband and our dog, Niska. It’s especially good when she picks up large sticks and tries to get them home!
