Emma Geis

Emma is most recently from Norfolk, VA, although she was born and raised in San Diego, CA. When researching potential career paths in college, Emma discovered the field of scientific and medical illustration and knew it would be a perfect fit for her passions for fine arts and science. In 2022, Emma graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Communication Arts and a concentration in Scientific Illustration.

In her graduate studies at UIC, Emma is looking forward to learning all that the field of Biomedical Visualization has to offer. Her interests lie in illustration for patient education, medical legal settings, and any opportunity to illustrate wildlife and/or botany. Emma is excited to be living in Chicago for the next few years with her husband and beloved cat.
