About
Hello! I am a medical illustrator committed to crafting innovative interactive media. I aim to create visuals that communicate complex ideas in ways that are engaging, informative and accessible. I have created illustrations for Penguins International, D’Arcy Thompson Zoological Museum, textbooks, medical journals, 3D anatomical models for Dental Schools and student learning resources for Ninewells teaching hospital.
I enjoy thinking outside the box to push the boundaries of the conventional and embrace challenges. My artistic versatility is evident in every creative challenge that I turn into innovation. I am alwyas excited to take an unconventional idea and bring it to life with originality, equality, and clarity.

I completed a MSc with distinction in Medical Art from University of Dundee (AMI accredited). My thesis project titled "Auscultation: The Art of Listening" has been implemented into the curriculum at Ninewells Teaching Hospital, UK as well as UCSI University, Malaysia. This project received the Artivay Community Impact award for providing an accessible and comprehensive platform to reinforce understanding of auscultation away from the classroom. This award is one of two awards given to Medical Art Graduates based on their dissertation projects.
Prior to attending University of Dundee, I attended University of Colorado where I received a BA in Integrative Physiology, BFA in Digital Arts and a minor in Art History. My background has equipped me well to approach visual communication problems with all the tools needed to find an impactful solution. My fine arts work can be found here. |

I am a Professional member of the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) and the Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI). I was awarded with the 2023 Institute of Medical Illustrators Award (Silver).
