6 years in clinical medicine (hematology/diagnostics) + professional children's book illustrator.
I turn complex scientific & medical topics into clear, engaging, and accurate visual stories for kids. No misinterpretations, no fluff — just visual clarity rooted in real science.
Planning a children’s non-fiction or medical book? Available for new projects soon. Let’s talk!

sketch to printed spread in one post is such a nice way to show process..
Created a vibrant and educational social media content series for Grow Grow ABA, focused on ABA therapy, early intervention, communication skills, social skills training, daily living skills, and parent support.
The designs combine child-friendly visuals, playful illustrations, consistent green branding, and clear messaging to help families understand therapy services while building trust and brand awareness.
This project showcases my approach to social media management, content strategy, educational content creation, and brand consistency for child development and family-focused organizations.

Backstory
This project is where it all started for me. I put this together during the COVID-19 lockdown while teaching myself Adobe Illustrator from scratch. It’s the very portfolio that landed me my first internship and launched my career as a designer.
Fun fact: I didn’t have a drawing tablet back then, so every single line and curve was done entirely with a computer mouse. It took a lot of patience (and clicks!), but it taught me that you don't need fancy gear to start creating.
Drawing every curve with a mouse forces you to be very deliberate about anchor points, and that discipline usually shows in cleaner shapes. Do you still build paths more economically because of it?
