I absolutely loved working on the figure on microbial dormancy for researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory.

I worked on this figure with Dr. Bowles at the University of Berkeley, California, who is always fantastic to work with. I had a lot of fun illustration directly on top of these graphs.

I created these carbon macromolecules for Scientific American several years ago (and am just getting around to posting now 🤣 )

The fullerenes (the buckyballs, C70 and C60) were extremely fun to map out and render.

I created this figure for Dr. Jilling at the University of South Carolina to show how mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) can sequester carbon and nutrients in soil. Had a great time working on this figure with Dr. Jilling and learned so many cool things!

Common eye traits among prey and predator animals. I made this graphic for a Newsela article.

Was so thrilled to receive a copy of Bay Nature Spring 2026 issue and see my illustration in it. I created a close up of the Dodder plant and pickleweed interaction for the article "Sensing is Becoming" by Jules Litman-Cleper

Some of my favorite graphics from @Newsela were simple ones showing a simple phenomenon.

The @soilbiome lab has always been a joy to work with over the years!

I have been slow to post some of the projects I've worked on with them because I am allergic to social media 🤣 but late is better than never!

I'm always excited to work on thumbnails for New Nature's videos since they always involve cutting some earth in half.

Graphite and diamonds are made of the same element, carbon, just arranged differently.

Illustration made for Newsela.
