With over 20 years of experience in graphics and illustration I currently work part-time with Columbia faculty and staff to create complex illustrations, digital paintings, animations, and infographics that support and enhance ideas, vision, and research. Before joining the Columbia University communications staff, I worked as a staff illustrator and graphic designer at Raven Press Medical publishers, Wolters Kluwer Health, and Oxford University Press. I have a master of education degree in visual art from Columbia University, Teachers College, and a bachelor's degree with a major in studio art, from Sarah Lawrence College, and studied graphic design, illustration, and animation at the School of Visual Art.
