Hi, I’m Jinny. 🌙
I'm a biomedical communicator working at the meeting point of disciplines, audiences, and degrees of expertise.
My background in anatomy and cell biology cultivated an appreciation for scale: how events at the molecular level propagate outward into tissues, systems, and finally into a life. That same systems perspective shapes my design process, where individual visual decisions accumulate into broader patterns of meaning.
I’m especially interested in how visual communication can support learning, trust, and care. Across illustration, information design, animation, interactive media, and teaching-oriented work, I aim to create visual experiences that are responsive to the people they ultimately serve.
I’m currently completing a Master of Science in Biomedical Communications (MScBMC) at the University of Toronto, where my research visualizes the neurobiology of trauma for a clinical therapy portal—an attempt, in practice, to hold scientific rigour and lived experience in the same frame.
