Industrial Design is a good blend of art and science, Form and Function. Good Industrial Designers can make a pretty shape that is still realistic to make into the product. A bad one just makes a pretty shape and it can't actually be made into something useful.
Learn basic 3d modelling skills
Learn about manufacturing processes and materials
Learn about color and texture

Hannah, a great career combining science with art would be as a medical illustrator. In fact, medical illustrators with the CDC created the image of the Covid-19 virus we have all seen (grey blob with red spikes). Look up artists Alissa Eckert and Dan Higgins. Medical illustration takes specialized training beyond the art studio, but it might be a career you would enjoy.
Great idea.

Hi Hannah!
Finding the perfect balance between pay and job satisfaction is an often difficult event to achieve, so it's good that you are thinking about this early on! There is quite a range of job opportunities in the field of art and science, with most of them extending from design. Design is great as it often encompasses creativity and technical ability, so you should look into this field to see if it fits you! For starters, here are some top career opportunities in design alongside their average salary:
1. UX designer – $96,505
2. Product designer – $89,224
3. UI designer – $88,434
4. Video game designer – $86,510
5. Architectural designer – $79,380
6. Industrial designer – $66,590
7. Multimedia and animation – $63,800
8. Web designer – $59,633
These are some examples in the field of design, and, as average salaries, actual pay can vary quite significantly from company to company. The most important part, however, is that you enjoy what you do and that you are highly qualified and above the average competition in your field of interest to really stand out. When you have an idea of possible careers in mind, be sure to also well-inform yourself on each of them to see if any of them truly fit you. If you are looking to go to university, or return to studying at another university, you can look into the course structures of a relevant degree to get some specific insight into what skills you would learn.
I hope this helped!

Finally someone considering a career in science. I am excited to tell you that management positions in science industries often pays very well. I work as a scientist in medical device industry. Most of the management position, e.g. directors, have a PhD in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry. Their earning is around 150-250k/year. So I would say a PhD would get you far. I often hear from younger colleagues that degree is not important, they can learn all the necessary skills in actual work. And they point out that someone is a manager with a bachelor’s degree. Yes, you see managers with bachelor’s degree working in a chemistry department, but that is one out of maybe 20 of bachelor degree graduates. And maybe in a small start-up company, the directors’ highest degree is a Bachelor’s.
If you are interested in a job, as the person with the job title how he/she got there.
