BIO

I specialize in the design of videos, motion graphics, infographics, and diagrams for high-dollar science proposals. I also illustrate cover art for many high-profile science journals. Past covers include Nature Nanotechnology, Neoplasia, and Materials Today, to name a few. 

My love for scientific illustration and graphics began at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and continued at Arizona State University, beginning in 2014 at The Biodesign Institute, where I worked as a senior multimedia developer and then later as an art director for Knowledge Enterprise, specifically Research Development. I have a master's degree from ASU in Graphic Information Technology, which I earned in 2017. My experience in marketing and advertising, which I believe is critical in understanding proper information-based graphics for science applications, affects my design strategy. I focus on impact and persuasion as a method of measuring success.

BEYOND THE BIO

I believe my greatest strength is an ability to make any idea better either by making an existing design more appealing to its intended audience, or by creating something new from the ground up, from concept to completion, that delivers the intended message clearly and effectively that

My name is Michael Northrop, and I am a writer living in New York City. I am the author of 16 books for young readers, including 12 novels for kids and teens. Book of the Dead, the first book in my five-book TombQuest series, spent three weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list and was named one of the best children's books of the year by the Los Angeles Public Library. My classic YA survival tale Trapped was an Indie Next List and American Library Association/YALSA Readers' Choice selection. My books have been selected for a Publishers Weekly Flying Start citation, the Junior Library Guild (five times!), NPR's Backseat Book Club, and numerous state and year-end lists.  

 

Altogether, my novels have sold more than one million copies, many of those in Scholastic's iconic Book Clubs (the flyer!) and Book Fairs. 

 

I have also written four graphic novels for DC Comics, including the critically acclaimed hit Dear Justice League, its nefarious sequel Dear DC Super-Villains, the deeply ridiculous Teen Titans Go! Undead?! and the obviously very serious Young Alfred: Pain in the Butler. 

 

I am originally from Salisbury, Connecticut, a small town in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains, where I mastered the arts of
