About

Headshot2_edited.png

Hi! I'm Susie.

As a scientific visual communicator, I combine visual storytelling, accessible design, and research-based accuracy to create engaging visuals for scientific education and marketing.

​

My passion for scientific visualization began with sketching California’s plant and wildlife, sparking an interest in how visuals can enhance learning complex subjects. I pursued this at California State University Long Beach, where I built a strong foundation in technical illustration, animation, and 3D modeling. While earning my Master of Science in Biomedical Visualization at University of Illinois at Chicago, I explored how to utilize multimedia to create dynamic, interactive visualizations that engage viewers in a more immersive learning experience.

In my career so far, I've had the privilege to work with experts in varying scientific fields, such as medicine, public health, chemistry, and nuclear sciences. My work has included research figures, 2D animations, 3D visualizations, branding materials, and stakeholder presentations. I thrive on the collaborative creative process and enjoy the problem-solving involved in scientific visual communication, whether it's learning something new for a complex project or developing new technical skills to deliver the best result.

If you’re interested in working together on a project, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out at susiehammons4@gmail.com.
