​

Science illiteracy is dangerous and artists can help. I use techniques from multimedia art and design to ground research into engaging human experiences with the goal of encouraging curiosity and participation in science.

​

I’m driven by ideas and “what if?” statements. Studying a range of media allows those ideas to direct the form they take as works of art. I specialize in crafting combinations of media to best illustrate a particular idea, acquiring the skills to realize it from start to finish, and reaching out to collaborators where a depth of knowledge is needed.

​

Oh! You might have noticed that there are a lot of branding identities here. I’m also a fanatical corporate designer. Kind of a wrench in my statement, right? Like most artists, I need to fund my projects! So when I’m not writing rock albums about proteins, I use my love of celebrating concepts to celebrate companies and laboratories. It’s practical, but it’s also what I love to do! 

​

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a duel degree bachelor’s in fine art and music in 2018. While in school I focused on biology and engineering as subjects of artistic study while working as a space science communicator, studio engineer, and teacher.
