Wow, it’s already been 🥇 year?! Sometimes it still feels surreal that I actually get to work at #BioRender! Grateful to have found such an incredibly energetic team—one that’s challenged me, supported me, and helped me grow into a better designer.

P.S. How cute is this pin?! 🥇

After lots of travel, I'm finally catching up on this year's @vizbi posters. As always, it's exciting to see work in whole-cell modeling and simulations! 👀 www.vizbi.org/Posters/2025...

OpenAI’s new GPT-4o image generator is kind of mind-blowing, especially compared to what was state-of-the-art just days ago. Someone had to try the Ghibli trend on some crazy biology visuals, right? Here's my beloved whole cell model in Studio Ghibli, graffiti, cubism, abstract, and pop art style ✨
