I am a Filipina-American, first generation graduate student and aspiring medical illustrator. I have a B.S. in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior from the University of California, Davis. Currently, I attend University of Chicago, Illinois as an M.S. candidate for the Biomedical Visualization Program.

As a developing medical illustrator I am drawn to illustration, 3D modeling, and animation. Through my work, I hope to help bridge gaps in the healthcare field and contribute to a more inclusive and advocacy-driven future within the medical illustration field. I aim to put intentions behind every decision made driven by learning theories, design principles, and scientific accuracy.

Hello, I am Justine Avery Arizabal.
