I am Emily Holden, one of the Directors of Now Medical Studios. We have such a wonderful team here at NMS and they are constantly bringing their unique experiences and talents to the table. I wanted to share a bit of my own journey to becoming a medical illustrator and animator to hopefully inspire others to join this fascinating career path.

The field of medical illustration is one that is perhaps unknown to many. We are surrounded by its imagery - in the media, on posters hanging in the doctors office or in patient information leaflet explaining disease or a surgical procedure. Often people do not realise that these images are created by specialists.

We’re big fans of the School of Motion, a company that provides world-class training in motion animation and design. In their latest podcast episode they interview a Director of Campbell Medical Illustration, Emily Holden, about her path into medical illustration and the type of work that her studio does.

Earlier on in the year Emily invited Annie to participate in an Anatomy Face Painting session with the University of Dundee’s Dental school students.

Annie and Emily attended Art and Anatomy‘s first public event of anatomy workshops with guest speaker Danny Quirk.
