Scientific Figures and Illustrations: Examples of my work
Below, you can find examples of scientific figures and illustrations I made. As a former scientist, I understand your work. As a graphic designer, I can make it beautiful!
Contact me if you want me to make a figure for your paper, grant proposal or PhD thesis
Scientific Figures and Illustrations for papers, reviews and dissertations
If you want me to make a figure for you, a rough sketch with pen and paper and a brief explanation of the message the illustration should convey are enough. Here is work I have done for researchers from Wageningen University and Research (Netherlands), Hochschule Geisenheim University (Germany), and ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research (Switzerland), among others.
If you want to make your own scientific figure or illustration, check out this guide teaching you the most important things to look out for.
