Some of my favorite graphics from @Newsela were simple ones showing a simple phenomenon.

It's difficult to picture how big some animals in the ocean are. Especially fish! This is a graphic showing the size of the largest sunfish ever found.

Created this for Newsela

I absolutely loved working on the figure on microbial dormancy for researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory.

I created this little earthquake explainer for Scientific American - @sciam.bsky.social
I loved making cross sections in this art style

Common eye traits among prey and predator animals. I made this graphic for a Newsela article.

I worked on this figure with Dr. Bowles at the University of Berkeley, California, who is always fantastic to work with. I had a lot of fun illustration directly on top of these graphs.

I made this figure for @andreajilling.bsky.social at the University of South Carolina to show how mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) can sequester carbon and nutrients in soil. Grateful for the chance to work on this!

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?

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

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.

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

Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy but they aren't the same. One happens in the sun and one usually happens on Earth in nuclear power plants.

At the start of the pandemic, @Newsela published articles relating to social distancing and health. I created this graphic to show that cloth masks, while not as effective as N95s, still offered protection against contaminated aerosols.

I created these carbon macromolecules for Scientific American several years ago (and am just getting around to posting now 🤣 )

The fullerenes (the buckyballs, C70 and C60) were extremely fun to map out and render.
