About Van
Van is an award-winning medical illustrator who combines scientific understanding with visual storytelling to help communicate concepts with clarity and precision. A lifelong artist with a passion for research, she is particularly drawn to projects that make technical and scientific information more accessible to diverse audiences.
During her graduate studies, Van developed patient education materials for the Children’s Hospital of Georgia, creating resources designed to help young patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and the families and care teams supporting them. For this work, she received the Award for Excellence in Research from Augusta University. She later provided medical illustration services to a variety of clients, collaborating closely with surgeons, cardiologists, veterinarians, and other healthcare professionals to create accurate and engaging visual communications.
Van holds a Master of Science in Medical Illustration from Augusta University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her unique combination of artistic talent, scientific training, and attention to detail makes her a valuable asset to Impact and its clients.
Outside of work, Van enjoys birdwatching, playing the banjo, and exploring the Bay Area by bicycle.
