👋Hi, my name is Ella Eberhardt!

I’m a science🐢 and medical 🫁 illustrator specializing in transforming complex scientific topics into easily understood informational design. Through 2D design, infographic, animation, 3D creations, I have worked with all types of media to achieve this goal. I am professionally trained and got my MSc in biomedical communication from the University of Toronto — one of only five accredited medical illustration programs in North America!

I completed my BSc in ecology, environmental biology and evolution from the University of Ottawa working on a thesis surrounding snake aggression. With this background in field work, I ended up working for the Canadian Wildlife Service (ECCC) in the year I took to work on my BMC application. I had the joy of wading through Ontario marshes on the hunt for Blanding’s, Spotted and Snapping turtles. 

Throughout my experiences I have gained transferable skills such as fluency in French and English as well as less transferable skills; I can proudly say that I can wrangle a 15lb snapping turtle! I am keen to learn everything I can about the biomedical communications field while finding ways to integrate my love for the outdoors. I am especially interested in understanding the powers of clear research communication. 

Feel free to reach out, I would love to chat about anything from the intricacies of 3D modelling and its uses in modern medicine to plants and reptiles!
