Illustrations and Graphic Design for Science

Transforming scientific concepts into engaging visuals

About me

I was born in a village in Portugal and being by the sea and mountains is my happy place.
I always loved to craft and explore around. As an adult this translated into study biological sciences and later visual communication.
I find comfort in learning about molecular mechanisms, pathways, methods, ecology,… and it brings me great excitement to translate the plans and discoveries of researchers into effective visuals.
My aim is to contribute to a more appealing and effectual science communication.
