Hello! I’m Sarah Joy Zimmerman,

a Certified Medical Illustrator located just outside of Seattle, WA. I love using my artistic and design skills to simplify and describe scientific concepts to others.

I use a mix of traditional illustration, graphic design and 2D animation in my projects, plus I’m currently working on adding data visualization to my repertoire. I’ve applied these techniques to plenty of different types of scientific content but feel especially passionate about subjects like public health and combatting medical misinformation.

I received my BFA in Medical Illustration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. After college, I developed my graphic design skills while working for the Kois Center, a continuing dental education school and research center in Seattle. I’m currently a freelance medical illustrator for Medscape, occasionally work on figures for medical research articles, and am actively looking for new clients to work with!

If you’re interested in working with me on a project or you have a question about medical illustration, feel free to reach out!
