WHY SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION?
COMMUNICATION
Visual communication
is essential in science.
It makes complex messages
more engaging and accessible
to a wider audience.
INSPIRATION
Visuals portray science in ways that we can only imagine.
These resources have
the potential to spark curiosity, inspire viewers and show us what our eyes cannot see.
INNOVATION
New technologies are full of possibilities. Let's make use of their full potential to create innovative ways of learning and empower our audience.
As a scientist by training and an artist at heart, I see art as a means of communication
ABOUT ME
I’m a Medical Artist (MSc) with a background in Biotechnology (BSc) and professional experience in creating visual and interactive resources for education, specialized journals and science divulgation.
My ultimate aim is to make science more accessible by creating engaging images to help express complex concepts.
My training and background enable me to produce scientifically accurate visual resources based on thorough research and the comprehension of my client’s needs.
Through deep comprehension of the idea that needs to be communicated, I transform it into something that is both beautiful and understandable by the target audience.
