But mostly she likes it when people request prints of the pieces she already made.
Work experience
Cover Art.
April 2015: Neuron
June 2015: Trends in Neurosciences
Collaborating with scientists has taught me about the way people think. I try to incorporate what I have learned in the field of neuroscience into my work to make the most effective art. A good cover design can draw in the appropriate reader and expose the research to a broader audience.
