Services offered

I am a PhD-trained biologist and scientific illustrator specialising in translating complex life science, biomedical research into clear, accurate, and visually compelling figures. With a PhD from the University of Cambridge and hands-on experience in molecular and cellular biology, I bring deep scientific understanding to every project. I work closely with researchers to ensure that figures are not only visually engaging, but also technically precise, publication-ready, and aligned with the scientific story being told.

If you’re looking for a collaborator who understands your science and can help communicate it clearly and accurately, I’d be happy to discuss your project :)

Experience

Since 2024, I have worked with researchers to develop:

- Publication-quality figures for peer-reviewed manuscripts

- Schematic diagrams explaining complex biological mechanisms

- Visual summaries for grants, presentations, and internal reports

- Illustrations supporting multidisciplinary work involving imaging, AI, and machine learning

 

I am comfortable working from rough concepts or early data and collaborating through multiple rounds of feedback. I enjoy helping clarify ideas that are still forming and refining figures until they meet the highest scientific and visual standards. My approach is meticulous, adaptable, and guided by the needs of each project and audience.

 

Tools & expertise:

- Scientific figure design & visual storytelling

- 2D and 3D illustrations / animations

- Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign

- Biological schematics, signalling pathways, and cell biology

- Experience working with imaging-heavy and computational biology projects

Education

I completed my PhD in Biological Sciences at the University of Cambridge in 2025. Prior this, I carried out my BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield.
