I will create scientific illustrations for your paper


About this gig
Hi (。・・)ノ゙,
I help researchers turn rough sketches, hand-drawings, or messy data
into clean, publication-ready figures --
schematics, mechanism diagrams, graphical abstracts, and figure redesigns.
Send me your draft or a description,
and I'll deliver editable, high-resolution files ready for submission.
Before you order,
message me with what you need so I can confirm scope and timeline.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
How much does a figure cost?
It depends on the complexity of the figure. Not sure which one fits yours? Message me your sketch or a description and I'll tell you the right tier before you order.
Only have a limited budget?
Message me! Tell me your budget and what you need, and I'll help you figure out the best option. I'm flexible and happy to work something out.
Not sure if you can draw what I need?
Very likely yes! I create academic figures across biology, medicine, chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering, computer science and more, including mechanism diagrams, flowcharts, pathway diagrams, material synthesis schematics, data/analysis figures, graphical abstracts, review figures.
What tools do you use?
I mainly work in Adobe Illustrator (vector, fully editable) and Adobe Photoshop. I also use Inkscape, Figdraw, BioRender, Blender, PPT and Python (eg. matplotlib).
What file formats will I get?
Editable vector files (AI/EPS/SVG) plus high-resolution PNG/PDF — ready for journal submission. Just let me know your target format.
Can you redraw or clean up an existing figure?
Of course! Sending me an existing figure to redesign is one of the most common requests. Share the original and I'll make it clean and publication-ready.
What makes you different from other designers?
Unlike a general designer, I can actually read and understand master's- and PhD-level papers across many fields. I have a research background and peer-reviewed paper. I understand the narrative and the findings. I express complex science clearly, completely, and as simply as possible.
Is my unpublished work kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your data and figures stay completely private and are never shared or reused.
