Petra Project
Project Overview
This project was created in collaboration with Professor of Archaeology Felipe Rojas from Brown University and Professor of Anthropology Sarah Newman at the University of Chicago based on their current archeological research in Petra, Jordan. I worked with one partner to brainstorm and illustrate this piece which will be used for the professors educational and research purposes.
Project Brief
The visual that the researchers needed for this site would show that the various features of the system are interconnected by a complex water system and other elements, such as cisterns, baetyls, and a sluice. The target illustrations should be a combination of plans and sections and perspectival drawings in order to convey the system and the scale of the cliff.
Project Focus
Archaeological illustration, technical drawing, collaboration with researchers
Tools
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate
Initial Sketching
Exploration Process
Below are some early sketches where I am brainstorming the best way to organize the layout of the system in order to demonstrate the complex interaction of water with the cliffs and other elements.
Final Graphic
Research Collaboration Result
Based on feedback received from the researchers, my partner and I created this final piece demonstrating the various elements of the system, the height of the cliffs, and the interconnected water network.
Medical Illustration
Project Background
In the carousel below are illustrations with a focus on medical communication from my internship and various courses.
Professional Experience
During my internship with UNC Chapel Hill in the Department of Neurosurgery in summer of 2023, I created a variety of works focused on clearly illustrating medical concepts for surgeon and resident research.
Project Focus
Medical illustration, scientific communication, research support
Tools
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate

Audubon Society Poster
Project Goal
For this project, I created an educational poster for the Audubon Society of Rhode Island focusing on the importance of salt marshes. This poster will be used in the Audubon Society's educational programming.
Project Focus
Visual communication, layout design, environmental education
Tools
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate
Final Design
Educational Impact
The final poster design balances scientific accuracy with visual appeal to effectively communicate the ecological importance of salt marsh ecosystems to diverse audiences.
Illustration for Patient Education
Target Audience
Below are some illustrative posters I created with a focus on visual communication of various conditions intended for children and their families.
Design Approach
Each poster uses child-friendly illustrations and clear, accessible language to explain complex medical concepts in an age-appropriate manner.
Project Focus
Pediatric illustration, health communication, family education
Tools
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate
Educational Poster Series
Health Condition Awareness
Reflections
Key Learnings
These projects challenged me to think and plan strategically to accurately and effectively communicate information to a particular audience. The projects require deep and thoughtful research in order to understand the topic at hand and best capture the information needed.
Future Development
I hope to continue refining my visual communication skills by working on my understanding of graphic design and learning how to combine these types of projects with new technology and UI/UX.
