Hi! I’m Ren

I am a natural science illustrator based in Philadelphia with a passion for accessible and engaging educational design. I am especially excited about representing plant and pollinator interactions in my work. I use both traditional and digital mediums as I strive to create interactive exhibit designs and illustrations that engage and inspire visitors for museums and educational institutions. I am a member of the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators and have interned at the Please Touch Museum in the Exhibit Department.
