Portfolio

This portfolio highlights some of my work in scientific communication, illustration, and design. I enjoy challenging myself to explain complex geophysical concepts through accessible and fun graphics, which allows me to combine my scientific interests with effective visual storytelling.

Four yellow instrumentation boxes in a desert setting. There are bushes, weeds, and cacti in red-orange landscape. The instrumentation boxes are connected to a seismometer, a GNSS station, and a solar panel. Two roadrunners are perched on the equipment, while one is running in between the weeds.
