Hi, I'm Shelby!

I’m an award winning biomedical illustrator, 3D-modeler, and animator. I have a Masters degree in Biomedical Visualization from the accredited University of Illinois at Chicago and a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from NC State University. While in the BVIS program, I was honored to receive the 2022 Frank Armitage Fellowship, Medtronic research Scholarship, and Vesalius Trust Research Grant. 

​

Not wanting to be confined to just one type of job, I choose to enter this field because of my love learning. I continuously explore new softwares, techniques, and medical/scientific topics. When I'm not researching and designing for a new project, I enjoy trying new cafes around Chicago, volunteering at PAWS, working out at my gym, and tending to my mini plant jungle.
