My scientific illustration practice grew directly from my research training. While studying at Harvard Medical School and conducting doctoral research at the MIT Biomechatronics Group, I found that the most effective scientific communication depends on images as much as words — and that researchers rarely have time to make both excellent.
I specialize in the intersection where technical precision meets visual clarity: lower-limb prosthetics and biomechatronics, surgical procedures, neural control systems, and patent drawings. My work has been commissioned by researchers at MIT, Harvard, and Mass General Brigham for high-visibility journal submissions, grant applications, and public presentations.
