Vet Exchange: Artist's Angle with Kirsten Winkelbauer

About this episode

The episode features a conversation with freelance illustrator Kirsten Winkelbauer, exploring the intersection of art and veterinary medicine.

D&D has a new segment called Vet Exchange, where we chat with people outside of our veterinary field to get a glimpse of what their life is like. AND THEN WE SWITCH! The interviewee becomes the interviewer. We had a lot of fun talking to my old high school colleague, Kirsten Winkelbauer. She is a freelance illustrator and designer who gave us a slight view into the world of an artist. We talk about art school, advertisement, your brand, and of course we need to mention AI! Kirsten then switches roles and asks us some insightful things about our veterinary career.
