Have you ever met an artistic scientist? These are Jillian’s top two passions. As a pre-veterinary undergraduate student, Jillian prided herself on conquering difficult subject material. However, she still felt something was missing on her future career path until she found Augusta University’s Medical Illustration program. This program filled in the missing piece: using her artistic skills to serve others in their scientific education.

As a graduate student at AU, Jillian’s industrious attitude drives her in expanding her skills in creating eye-catching 2D and 3D visuals using various mediums. She has enjoyed real-world opportunities to work with clients, such as designing an informative brochure for patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery. The results of this project even earned her an award in research excellence at AU’s Graduate Research Day in 2024. Outside of her illustration studies, she coordinated inviting professionals to a guest lecture series, “Illustration Inspirations,” where she aimed to connect her classmates with inspiration and resources in the medical illustration industry.

Jillian completed her Master of Science in Medical Illustration degree in May of 2025 and looks forward to embarking on her professional journey.   Feel free to take a look at her resume and contact her via the email listed there (jillianbiovisuals@gmail.com).
