ART AND DESIGN
Creativity has followed me throughout my career, informing my work as a scientist and allowing me to express my passions through a diverse set of mediums. I've created graphics and designed websites for my research, published my comics in comic anthologies, and illustrated art (both personal and commissions for others) to express my love for space exploration.
My artistic vision is to imagine inspirational futures in space with a lens on representation, weave stories of science and fiction through sequential art, and collaborate to promote understanding and access to space. Below you can find my work in three different sections: drawings & paintings, logos & designs, and comics.
