Minz Joseph was born and raised in Chicago and now lives in sunny San Diego with her husband, Anson George, and their two adorable boys, Ira and Isaac, who are her biggest inspirations for creating fun and imaginative books like this one. Minz holds a master's degree in Biomedical Visualization and has built a career in medical communications, where she combines science, storytelling, and art to make complex ideas come to life. When she's not illustrating or designing, Minz loves running along the coast and hiking the beautiful trails near her home. She also finds joy in creating iconography for churches and religious artwork, blending her artistic skill with her deep sense of meaning and spirituality. Every piece she creates, whether scientific, spiritual, or playful, is inspired by curiosity, faith, and the endless imagination.
