Since the 00s: illustrator turned designer turned physics student turned science visualizer. Currently freelance.

In 2014 I joined Quanta Magazine as the fifth team member and became its first Art Director. Until 2022, I led the visuals and defined the publication’s aesthetic. I created and directed illustrations, graphics, photography, video and more to augment some of today’s best writing about basic research.
I work in a variety of styles and mediums, and most enjoy “visualizing invisible things” — abstract and imperceptible subjects in theoretical and experimental science. Some of my favorite topics include physics (from the particular to universal), science fiction, and fantasy.
