I am a medical illustrator and animator based in Chicago, with a strong background in orthopedic education and over 15 years of experience creating visuals for both patient and surgeon audiences. Leveraging this expertise, I am now specializing in medical-legal illustration, offering tailored solutions to support litigation needs.
My approach emphasizes humanizing the plaintiff by incorporating patient likenesses when appropriate and collaborating closely with attorneys and medical experts. This personalized service sets me apart from larger graphics firms, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.
I integrate patient imaging into my work whenever available, including the option to produce 3D-printed models for demonstrative purposes. My focus is on delivering visuals that are perfectly scaled to the narrative, avoiding unnecessary complexity. For instance, I will recommend simple before and after injury slides if they effectively convey the message, while also offering expertise in both 2D and 3D animation for cases where dynamic visuals are essential.
