bio
I discovered my passion for scientific illustration after a few years working as a graphic designer. During a formal training course in Scientific Illustration, I rediscovered my love of drawing as well as my wonderment with nature.
I intend to pursue a career on such interesting field of science communication and I'm excited to support wildlife education, research and conservation.
