Illustration for Educational Publishing

As part of a collaborative team at Imagineeringart.com for eleven years, I created illustrations, animations, and digital learning solutions for educational publishing platforms. I played a major role in creating content for illustration programs in the following publications:

Moore – Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 7th edition – Lippincott Williams & Wilkins 2012

Lead artist role: Initial art style development and colour palette design. Revitalized art program with updated rendering styles, a unified colour palette, and enhanced anatomical accuracy.
Art direction and content review for each figure, and illustrated many figures within the book
Over 1100 medical illustrations, originally created by esteemed medical illustrators over many years, re-created by illustrators at Imagineering.
