Greetings,

I'm Jenna, a talented medical animator and cartoonist hailing from the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon. I studied at The University of Illinois at Chicago, where I earned a Masters of Science in Biomedical Visualization. My education spans both the sciences and arts, with a Bachelors of Science and Associates also under my belt. My diverse background equips me with a deep understanding of anatomy, psychology, physiology, and pathology.

In my work, I get to bring ideas to life through animation. It's something I'm really passionate about, and I love diving into each project with creativity and enthusiasm.


Outside of work, you can usually find me curled up with my cat watching movies, baking up a storm in the kitchen, or having a blast with friends over a game of Dungeons & Dragons. Balancing my professional ambitions with my personal interests keeps me feeling inspired and fulfilled.

All the best,
Jenna Espeseth
