DESIGNING INSIGHTS
Hello.
My name is Michelle Chen! I specialize in bringing narrative storytelling to the forefront of science, bridging the gap between complex ideas and comprehension through visual design.
I am a professionally trained student in the Master of Science in Biomedical Communications program at the University of Toronto—one of only five accredited medical illustration programs in North America.
My academic background includes an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences from McMaster University, where I focused on forensic psychiatry.
​
When I’m not working, I’m a passionate storyteller, creating graphic comics and designing storybook characters, with the goal of bringing fantasy storylines to life through visual art. I’m always exploring new hobbies—whether hiking, trying out sports like fencing, or diving into VR gaming, I love discovering new ways to stay inspired.
