Full page illustration created for the article "The Brain, ReImagined" by Douglas Fox in Scientific American 318, 60 – 67. The article described two theories of nerve signal propagation. This piece draws the viewer in with a charismatic neuron, and illustrates the two theories in parallel, allowing the viewers to easily compare & contrast. Simplified models were used for the ion channels, so that excess visual complexity didn't add to the high cognitive load required to interpret the piece.

When NanoView first approached us they were looking for an updated series of illustrations to help explain their technology. Through our discussions we found that they also were in need for a website redesign as well as branded marketing materials and exhibition graphics. We used their logo as our style guide and designed content that resulted in a polished and cohesive visual brand that they could present to their investors and customers.
To illustrate a series of manoeuvres that support the natural vaginal delivery of breech birth babies. Visuals to be used to support the training of midwives in the UK and abroad.
LH-stimulated changes in capillary growth and leukocyte delivery in the ovulatory follicle. Before the LH surge, immune cells are present in the ovarian vasculature and theca interna of the preovulatory follicle (top). New vessels and breakdown of the granulosa cell basal lamina provide points of entry for circulating leukocytes (center). Additional leukocytes are seen in the granulosa cell layer prior to ovulation (bottom).

Copper isotopes behave differently in near-surface environments than in non-weathering environments found deeper in the earth. By sampling copper isotopes (63 and 65) in metal artifacts from Copper and Bronze Age Serbia, Dr. Mathur and his colleagues discovered the approximate time that people of this region were introduced to shaft mining, a technique already in practice in the middle east. Soon to be published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

The assignment was to create cover art that incorporated different factors that could result in PTSD, as discussed in the manuscript. Photographs I had taken were combined and edited in Photoshop with public domain images. I.e. The child was photographed in his father's arms and then placed into a photo taken of the fireman, and the background added. Once the composite was approved, outlines, shadows, and highlights were added to create the final effect.
