“Why can’t you just draw something from your imagination?” I was once asked. The simple truth is that I’ve always found the world around me much more compelling than digging inwards into my imagination; I found that I draw the things around me to study them. It was genuine curiosity and a love for learning that led me to medical illustration. I first learned about this field while getting my undergrad in illustration. Years later, after travelling the world, with my husband and two little boys, I am finally here.

While studying Medical Cell Biology during my undergraduate degree, I developed a love for creating visuals that simplified science for others. I went on to study art at Sheridan College and began to take part in interactive design sprints, opening my eyes to the large number of problems within the fields of medicine, healthcare, and science that could be solved using both static and interactive visual media. At BMC, I’ve continued to develop this passion, finding creative ways to communicate science to others in many different formats.

I was always happy having art as a hobby because it allowed me to take interesting “detours” during my undergraduate years. I was volunteering on an art project on one occasion and learned of the BMC program from a teammate. Medical illustration left an overwhelming impression on me, and I found a purpose I could fulfill as a scientifically-minded illustrator and designer.
