Hi! I’m a professional scientific illustrator, graphic designer, educator, and biologist. I love working at the intersection of science and art. Teaching has also been an important part of my career. I have over 25 years of teaching experience at the college level.

I also have a business website where I focus on scientific and technical illustration, logo design, standard operating procedures, animation, and product photography. Check out my business at Science Lab Studios!
