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

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.

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.

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.
