Most of my work is in storyboard development for the production of medical and scientific animations, as well as illustrations. Each project is created with the purpose of telling a concise and clear visual story that will support the script. I also paint/draw commissions and usually work in acrylic or graphite on canvas or drawing paper.

Developed storyboards for scientific and medical animations. Designed and developed the user interface and graphics for educational virtual reality experiences.

Worked in the Lewis Lab on a project focused on the 3D printing of lithium-ion batteries. This position required me to prepare inks, operate 3D printers, write code, and carry out measurements for the conductivity and viscosity of formulated inks.
