Meet the Illustrator
I am studying Scientific Visualization at Iowa State University and will be graduating May of 2026. I spend most of my time bouncing between science labs and art studios. As an artist I love to use my art history knowledge to influence my art. As a scientist I love to make observations and then learn from them.
I have held several jobs while attending Iowa State including working as a Mounting Assitant for the Ada Hayden Herbarium, Student Illustrator for the Biomedical Sciences department of the College of Veterinary Medicine, and Event Coordinator and Space Manger for the Scientific Visualization program.
Outside the studio I love exploring the outdoors, wether that be hiking, biking, skating, or skiing. Another passion of mine is travelling, my favorite destination I've been to so far is my grandfather's home town in Switzerland. In my free time I like to read, knit and sing.

Website Building
I decided to code this website at the start of 2026 as a way to have a digital portfolio and a place to store my art without fear of bots and censorship. This website is still a live project that I will continue to code, if there are any bugs please let me know!
This portfolio website was built with the help of a guide by internet user Sadgrl.
