About me
Growing up in multicultural country like Malaysia, visual communication has always been an important part of my life when trying to connect with people from different cultures. With this and a love for biology in mind, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelor’s degree in Genetics and a minor in Studio Art
During my undergraduate years and after graduation, I worked in a diverse range of research areas ranging from basic developmental biology to genetic therapeutics. Through my microscopy work, I found myself constantly captivated by the beauty of biology and was amazed at how information can be visually captured from intricate fluorescent images. Inspired by this, I hoped to communicate the visual beauty of biology and its concepts to a wider audience.
In 2021, I received my Masters in Science degree in Biomedical Visualization from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My interests lie in communicating complex biological and medical topics through the art of visual storytelling. I am technically skilled in interactive development and design (AR/VR/eLearning), 3D modeling and animation, graphic and UIUX design, and illustration.
I particularly enjoy working with interactive media and 3D modeling software and my work in these domains have garnered multiple awards from the Association of Medical Illustrators. Additionally, I am honored to be the recipient of the 2021 Alan Cole award from the Vesalius Trust for my research in interactive media.
I look forward to using my skills to bring science to life to people from all walks of life.
