The images below depict a range of processes and systems related to my own professional work and that of my clients.
Some of these designs were published in scientific journals or presented in professional conferences and committees. Others were created as professional tools to facilitate understanding and communication among colleagues, collaborators, and community partners.
Note that, for intellectual property and/or platform reasons, images may not be sharp on your screen. If you’d like to see a higher-resolution image, please contact me to request a read-only link.
This image illustrates my previous role leading a large, diverse undergraduate program at Cornell University. I created it to better understand my program's structure and needs as well as my responsibilities and professional network. It packs a ton of information: facets of the role, professional contacts and how they relate to each other, and the primary direction of communication between my role and each key contact. NEXT -->
This updated figure, published with my original qualitative research, features my own pen-and-ink line drawings. It illustrates the many practices that my study participants described for pumping, storing, preparing, and providing breast milk to their infants. Purposeful alignment and grayscale help the reader follow milk's different potential pathways from breast to infant. Color informs the reader about how practices are represented in common language; a fully-grayscale version could use superscripts or icons. NEXT -->
This framework provides a large-scale view of undergraduate advising services across the university hierarchy, detailing how they communicate and collaborate with each other. It was created to better understand the greater advising system and optimize its success in support students. NEXT -->
This figure, updated since it was published, details my study participant interview schedule. With this visual guide instead of a table, the viewer can understand and compare interview schedules with much more speed and nuance. Because interviews stopped before 1 year if the infant was no longer being fed breast milk, the vertical guideline also allows the viewer to compare feeding outcomes with recommendations. NEXT -->
(<-- grayscale) This version of the redesign features the semantically-relevant pink-and-blue color scheme used for this set of studies, adding interest and highlighting text content. Line weights and grayscale elements were adjusted for visual balance. NEXT -->
This conceptual framework illustrates core concepts in a faculty client's research. As a go-to figure for their teaching and scholarship efforts, improving its clarity and accessibility was paramount - particularly in light of an upcoming keynote lecture for an international symposium. My redesign measurably improved clarity and professional polish which, as my client reported, stood out and garnered praise at the symposium. NEXT -->
This manuscript figure, updated from its published version, illustrates findings from my original research. It depicts a continuous feedback system of behaviors, observations, inferences, and intentions related to two interrelated behaviors: pumping and bottle-feeding breast milk (or human milk, "HM"). The redesigned version features several informational, structural, and aesthetic updates, and includes my own line drawings - taken from another figure within this manuscript - for interest and semantic relevance. COLOR version -->
This manuscript figure, created for a faculty client, describes their research study design and participation. It is a redesign of their original figure, which included two panels and used a complicated color scheme. Combining study design and participation into one cohesive panel and converting to grayscale improved clarity and reduced publication costs. NEXT -->
This framework illustrates how an individual undergraduate student might experience advising support from faculty, staff, and peers. I created it to better understand what influences the quality of advising a student receives and, as a result, how advising services might be improved. NEXT -->
This two-panel figure shows student needs (left) and resources (right) related to my previous role leading an undergraduate program. Large side arrows illustrate which advising needs are the greatest as well as how advising resources relate to the heirarchy of the institution. NEXT -->
