Hi, I’m Molly. I’m a science illustrator and communicator who loves the ocean.
I decided to enter the field of biomedical illustration because I believe that science is nothing if not communicated. During my BSc Hons degree in Marine Biology, I was part of three different research labs where I encountered a wide range of research. However, this research was often not known, not understood, or worse: misunderstood. The act of branching academic and public spheres of knowledge has since become a central focus of mine – what do researchers and healthcare professionals choose to communicate, how do they communicate it, and how can I help them?
I have been privileged to work for clients in a variety of disciplines such as marine biology, oceanography, microbiology, oncology, and patient health, among others. My favourite part of my job is that my clients are experts and passionate in their field. When they explain their research, I learn something new and can then help share that knowledge with a wider audience using visuals.
