I'm a physician, medical illustrator, and 3D artist bridging art and medicine to improve learning and visual communication in healthcare.

I'm a physician, medical illustrator, and 3D artist bridging art and medicine to improve learning and visual communication in healthcare.
With a lifelong interest in drawing and years of photography experience, I began exploring 3D tools even before entering medical school. There, I discovered the powerful intersection of art and medicine, from intricate cellular structures to full anatomical systems.
Having both taken and tutored for the USMLE, I developed a strong foundation across all organ systems, ensuring the accuracy of my medical visualizations. As a physician and aspiring pathologist, I bring accuracy, clarity, and creativity to my work.
At AnkiHub, I served as the lead medical illustrator and 3D artist, creating 500+ USMLE Step 1–3 illustrations for the AnKing deck, used by 162,000+ medical students worldwide. I also serve as a Research Assistant at Stanford University, focusing on medical education, and have collaborated with leading institutions such as Stanford, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins.
Today, I help students, educators, and researchers around the world by transforming complex science into compelling visuals that teach, inspire, and resonate.
