About
Dorothy Fatunmbi M.S., C.M.I
Senior Medical Illustrator | 2D animator
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website!
I am an enthusiastic life-long learner with over 7 years of experience creating instructional scientific illustrations and animations for enriched online learning experiences in higher education. My work is informed by data-driven design and intentional storytelling. I simplify complex topics and find creative solutions using critical thinking, empathy and a collaborative spirit.
Whether I am managing multiple projects in my full-time role, contributing to the strategic direction of a 700+ member professional association as an elected official, or mentoring junior colleagues - you’ll find me exemplifying the same core characteristics.
These characteristics include an inquisitive mind that seeks to understand, a discerning eye for identifying and presenting possible solutions for unmet needs, a commitment to quality, and a proven track record of investing in the growth and wellbeing of those around me.
If you’re looking for an experienced creative with a propensity for leadership, I’d love to connect with you.
Four Fun Facts:
I’m mildly obsessed with flowers. I think that their forms and the negative shapes between their petals and leaves are pure poetry. For me, drawing flowers can be as exciting and satisfying as a dollop of ice cream on top of a warm cookie.
The library is one of my favorite places to be. As a child, I wished I could stay overnight and have the place all to myself! As an adult, I am still in awe of the fact that I can learn almost anything with a well-chosen book.
Reading Rainbow is my favorite television series. I enjoy it with a cup of tea and my latest knitting project.
My first semester GPA as a first-year student in college was below 3.0. I was counseled to get above 3.0 or drop my biology major. I was already working hard, and I didn’t know what else I was missing. The difficult and transformative journey that I took, to reach 3.5 before ultimately peaking at 3.8, became the catalyst for my love for teaching and helping others learn.
