Biological illustrations have accompanied research and teaching for centuries. Through my work with microscopic structures, organisms, and biological processes, I know how crucial visual abstraction is for understanding living systems. Multi-layered processes, cell structures, or ecological relationships are translated into comprehensible visual worlds. Areas of application include textbooks, scientific publications, diagrams, process representations, and didactic materials. Biological illustrations create orientation in complex subject areas and support the transfer of knowledge between research and the public. Clients include universities, research institutions, educational institutions, publishers, and scientific organisations.
