About Han
“Learn, apply, teach then repeat.”
My life motto continually challenges, motivates, and inspires me to do more. As a medical illustrator, I am able to give back to those that are visual learners (like myself) by showcasing my expertise in science and art while also receiving a great sense of fulfillment and joy.
I spent a few years of my undergraduate attending Portland State University studying biology and graphic design before transferring to Rochester Institute of Technology, where I achieved my BFA in Medical Illustration on December of 2019.
Currently, I am based in Rochester, NY working as a medical illustrator for VisualDx where I am fortunate enough to collaborate with innovative writers, directors, designers, physicians, and engineers in providing an accessible online medical diagnosis tool. At VisualDx, I am responsible for creating custom illustrations that highlight the symptoms and pathophysiology of medical conditions using a mixture of 2D and 3D software.
I always aim to create accurate and detailed illustrations through careful researching of credible sources. In addition to turning complex concepts into clear and engaging works of art, I believe great design is just as important in making information flow well and aesthetically pleasing.
