timeline

2024 - ongoing

for motif neurotech, a startup developing a wirelessly powered neurostimulation implant for depression, to make technically complex systems understandable while preserving scientific accuracy.

interactive demos for non-engineers

wireless power visualization demo

designed and built out a java GUI (PyQt) to demonstrate how a wirelessly-powered device receives energy under different positions. the goal was to make a core technical advantage — robust power transfer without precise alignment — intuitive to investor and stakeholder audiences.

apparel and art

created to emphasize the implant's miniaturized form factor and implantation process. specifically highlighting low visual noise and continuity, mirroring how the device was designed to integrate seamlessly in the skull with minimal disruption.

technical illustration and communication

scientific figures for grants (confidential)

developed technical figures for grants submissions, translating experimental setups and system behavior into clear visual narratives for cross-disciplinary reviewers.

+ say hey! let's talk projects and collaborations :)
