About

I’m Joana, a scientist who fell in love with telling visual stories.

I’m currently based in Lausanne, Switzerland, where I work as freelancer science illustrator.

I started experimenting with visual storytelling motivated by a keen interest in communicating my scientific research. Nowadays, I use illustration and graphic design to build visuals that help researchers, companies and institutions communicate complex concepts. I’m always up to finding new ways to visualize science stories that inspire everyone to become life-long learners.
