Science Communication - Microscopy

In 2023 I started my journey into learning more about science. I have always been fascinated by nature, both on Earth and in space. After showing interest in biology, I was gifted a microscope and I haven’t put it down since. With furthering my education in my future, I decided to document my experience and share what I have learned along the way. This a curation of illustrations, photos and videos of my natural discoveries through content creation.

Sticker Design

As an illustrator I made multiple stickers depicting microorganisms. Gloomy Moss being a moniker for the collection of my art.

This series of social media posts are called “What’s in my pond?” where I teach about organisms found inside pond water. I provide images of the organisms that I photographed, as well as some illustrations that I draw. I provide a few details about the organism in a easy to digest learning experience.

Video Creation

Here are some video examples of how I create nature content focused on certain niche areas of interests, such as lichen that grows on trees and microorganisms that live in pond water.
