Hi, I’m Jinny. 🌙

I’m a biomedical communicator drawn to thoughtful, research-informed visual storytelling. I approach biomedical communication as a practice of translation and mediation–bridging disciplines, audiences, and levels of expertise through visual media. My goal is to make complex biomedical ideas more accessible without sacrificing nuance.

My background in anatomy and cell biology cultivated an appreciation for scale: how events at the molecular level propagate into tissue- and system-level consequences. That same systems perspective shapes my design process, where individual visual decisions accumulate into broader patterns of meaning.

Empathy, multiplicity, and perspective-taking are central to how I approach my work. I’m especially interested in how visual communication can translate complex biomedical systems in ways that support clarity, trust, and care for the people these materials ultimately serve.

I’m currently completing a Master of Science in Biomedical Communications (MScBMC) at the University of Toronto.
