JJ Abu-Halimah is an emerging biomaterials researcher and premed, with a passion for media and creative design. Having pursued a minor in Media Arts and Design alongside his Biological Chemistry/ Chemistry double major, he had the opportunity to pursue his interests in anime and video games. This creative approach to the arts translated in his pursuit of chemistry, particularly in the development of hydrogels for regenerative medicine as he draws inspiration from food science, namely boba teas and jellies for his research.

Outside of chemistry and research, JJ created a diverse media portfolio, including vlogs, music videos, a Visual Novel, a Murder Mystery Game, a Tabletop Role-Playing Game, a Card game, and designs for a Platformer game.

Motivated by the narrative depth of anime, visual novels, and single-player games, JJ hopes to push his audience narratively, making them feel connected to the worlds he creates.
