I am also a scientific, technical, and medical illustrator and the founder of KOLD DESIGN.

My work includes the creation of scientifically accurate and engaging illustrations and infographics, instruction manuals, diagrams, mind maps, pictograms, explanatory materials, animations, academic posters, brochures, flow charts, bespoke presentations, and more. 👍 In the past five years, my scientific visualisation portfolio has earned me a reputation as one of the leading medical illustrators on Upwork. I have successfully completed over 150 global projects for more than 100 clients, including 5 illustrated textbooks. My career highlight was in 2021 when my SARS-CoV-2 illustration was showcased in the COVID-19 Artists Tribute Section of the prestigious Medical Illustration and Animation book’s 34th volume. 🧠 My Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology, coupled with my extensive research experience in stem cell biology and a broad academic foundation in natural science, equips me with a deep understanding of client needs. This enables me to conduct thorough research and seamlessly visualise a multitude of scientific topics. My professional interests lie in both innovative design solutions and learning new technologies. ✍️ I combine a broad range of evidence-based scientific and healthcare resources, expert perspectives, and relevant information to provideeffective and tailored science communication, as well as scientific consultancy in the domains of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and avant-garde biotechnology, including nanomedicine, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cellular agriculture. 🌎 My clientele encompasses a diverse spectrum of individuals from non-governmental organisations, esteemed academic institutions, and research centres worldwide.
