Science Communication
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
— Albert Einstein
In my view, the significance of crisp, engaging, and enjoyable science communication cannot be overstated. Thus, I ensure my writing and illustrations are as engaging and enjoyable as possible. I have spent countless hours honing my writing skills to produce writing that communicates ideas clearly and effectively and is beautiful, elegant, and stylish. Sometimes, I even take risks in my writing; I may put something funny or provocative! I also design 2D and 3D scientific illustrations (and even GIFs and videos) that can transcend language barriers and enhance the understanding of complex scientific concepts. This is done using multiple software, each serving a specific purpose to produce compelling visual storytelling.
