Hello Dribbble!

Hello Dribbble! I’m so excited to join this community of talented, creative designers! A very special thank you to @Andrija Prelec for the invitation - I really appreciate it.

My first shot is inspired by a ‘90s favorite (movie and song): Space Jam. It was hand-drawn in Adobe Illustrator, like most of my work so far.

Actually, I have no formal training in any kind of design and am finishing a PhD in human genetics. I didn’t realize how much I loved graphic design until I started making figures for my scientific papers and I’ve been teaching myself the art of Illustrator ever since. I’m really looking forward to learning from all of you and expanding my skill set!

Does anyone have advice on how to make the most of the Dribbble community? Best practices for getting feedback, learning new programs or techniques, making connections, etc.?

Thanks again, everybody! I’m so happy to be here.
