Science Illustration

These works include spot illustrations, diagrams, and interpretative panels. They were created as commissions or as parts of personal projects to delve deeper into my passions in the world of scientific exploration.


Monterey Bay Aquarium

These works were created as part of my Science Illustration Internship at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I worked closely with the biologists and animal care staff at the Aquarium, including Dr. Ri Chang and Dr. Michael Murray, to complete three projects for publication. The projects included illustrating a new species of Megalodicopia predatory tunicate; creating an ultrasound guide for leopard sharks (Triakis semifasciata), and illustrating the internal anatomy of sea otters (Enhydra lutris), focusing specifically on the clinically significant vasculature and surrounding anatomy to help with venous blood draws. All illustrations created digitally using Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) and are © copyright of Monterey Bay Aquarium.
