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

it makes my brain hurt!
Some of my favorite graphics from @Newsela were simple ones showing a simple phenomenon.

The @soilbiome.bsky.social lab has always been a joy to work with!
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 (@newnature.bsky.social) videos since they always involve cutting some earth in half.

Best way to cool your house down? Wind catchers in many ancient Persian houses used passive ventilation to keep buildings cool in hot climates.

Atoms come together to form all sorts of patterns. How do they stack up?

Earthquakes release P waves and S waves, but what do they look like and how do they traverse through the earth?

Very early this year (I am quite slow to post work haha), I had the pleasure to work with @hydro-adrienne.bsky.social to create this illustration showing how energy infrastructure interacts with the water cycle.

New video alert! The Day the Sun Dies.
Featuring another beautiful artwork by the brilliant @elabarts.bsky.social #science #heliophysics
Loved working on this piece for @newnature.bsky.social 's video about the end of our Sun's life!

Thank you for checking out the show!
Digital painting of covalent bonds in helium hydride (HeH+) and hydrogen (H2+) molecules. On the left is a ball-and stick representation, on the right a version that emphasizes the electron clouds.
Looking through an exhibit of illustrations by @elabarts.bsky.social at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, it was neat to see a @jenchristiansen.com credit.
Visualizing the atomic scale is challenging!

A graphic showing two sand mounds. One is a pile of sand, labeled 'dry sand' while the other is a sand castle labeled 'wet sand'. Two pop ups showing a close up view of the sand grains are positioned next to each mound. The 'wet sand' pop up shows rings of water around sand grains.
While at @newsela.bsky.social, I was usually tasked with creating simple but clear graphics to explain certain concepts with minimal text. I also tried to make them usable for a wide range of grades.
