Hello!
Hi, I’m Sophia, a medical illustrator and graphic designer based in Chicago specializing in turning complex scientific concepts into clear, beautiful, and anatomically accurate visual stories. I think the human body is incredible and I have a passion for helping others understand its complexities.
With a Master’s in Medical Art and a background in Biology, I help physicians, researchers, and healthcare brands tell their stories. I truly enjoy the collaborative side of medical education. Whether I am partnering with clinicians to visualize new findings or directing the visual strategy for digital medical libraries, my goal is to create "aha!" moments for students and professionals alike.
While the core of my work is focused on science and medicine, I always find time for creative projects that keep my perspective fresh! If you’d like to work together, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, no matter the project size!
EXCITING STUDIO UPDATE: After 6 wonderful years in Scotland, I have relocated my studio back to Chicago!

This kidney illustration was the first I created for this collection! The kidney is my favorite organ (seriously!) and it’s so beautiful I wanted to draw it in my own style. This illustration showcases the intricate filtration system and organic beauty of the human kidney with clinical accuracy and my own artistic flair. I hope you enjoy displaying it as much as I enjoyed the long, rewarding process of drawing it!
