Self-Directed Projects
This section features a selection of independent projects developed outside of academic assignments, where I explored topics of personal interest within medical and scientific illustration. These works reflect my initiative to expand my skills, experiment with new techniques, and deepen my understanding of complex medical subjects beyond the classroom.
Through self-directed work, I’ve had the opportunity to engage creatively with anatomy, pathology, and educational design in ways that align with my passions and areas of curiosity. Each piece demonstrates not only technical and conceptual development, but also a commitment to continuous learning and visual storytelling in medical art.

This infographic was designed to visually simplify the complex medical information surrounding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The goal was to create a clear, informative resource that explains the symptoms, causes, and potential treatments for PCOS in a visually engaging format.
Using a clean and accessible design, I incorporated color coding, icons, and concise text to break down key information. The infographic serves as both an educational tool and a visual guide, making the content easy to understand for patients, students, and healthcare professionals alike.

This project was created to address the lack of inclusive visual resources in medical education, specifically regarding how burns present on darker skin tones. The guide illustrates various degrees of burns, with a focus on accurately depicting visual cues that may appear differently compared to lighter skin.
Designed as an educational tool for healthcare providers and students, this guide aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, promote equity in care, and increase representation in medical illustration. The project combines evidence-based research with thoughtful visual design to support more inclusive and effective clinical training.

This illustration is being created to visually explain the laparoscopic appendectomy procedure—a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove the appendix. The artwork highlights key anatomical landmarks, the placement of surgical instruments, and the general steps of the procedure.
Designed as an educational resource for patients and medical students, the illustration simplifies a complex operation into a clear and accessible visual. The goal is to support understanding of both the anatomy involved and the surgical approach used in this common procedure.
