Medical & Scientific Illustration

I create high-quality, accurate and engaging illustrations for publications, patient education, and professional training.

Information Design

I make your data and facts easier to read – through infographics, data visualizations, and visual communication.

Visual Strategy

Design is more than just aesthetics – it’s about making knowledge accessible and meaningful. I support projects from initial concept to final execution, ensuring that the content is strategically designed, user-centred, and engaging.

Media

I design 2D illustrations for all publication formats – from journals to digital learning. For interactive and multimedia projects I team up with specialists in animation and interaction design.

  • Content design for E-learning, webinars or apps
  • Outreach materials for marketing and education – print or digital
  • Presentations: Teaching, conferences, pitches
  • Journal publication: Figures and graphical abstracts

Design process

My process is collaborative and iterative: We begin with a brief to align on content, style, and deadlines.

After research and initial sketches, I share drafts for your feedback, refining the visuals until they meet your needs.

The final deliverables are tailored to your format – ready for print, web, or presentation.

Pricing

Every project is unique, and pricing depends on its specific requirements: complexity of the design, number of iteration rounds, and licence type.
