Can you design publication-ready figures, maps, and data visualizations for my scientific paper or environmental story?

Yes. I specialize in publication-ready figures and maps for scientific articles, reports, and environmental journalism. I regularly work with climate, ecology, conservation and social–environmental datasets and know how to translate complex results into clear, accurate visual stories.

For scientific publications, I follow journal guidelines (size, resolution, color profiles, typography) and deliver editable vector files (typically PDF, SVG, AI, or EPS) plus high-resolution PNGs or TIFFs for submission systems. For media outlets, I adapt the same graphics to work well both on screen and in print, including variations for social media or story headers when needed.

I can help with maps, charts, infographics, schematics, and multi-panel figures – from first sketch to final layout – so that your visuals are both scientifically robust and visually consistent with your paper, report, or article.

I already have my data (spreadsheets, R scripts, or GIS files) or preliminary graphics. How can you help me turn it into clear, accurate graphics?

Most of my projects start exactly like this: you already have the data and analysis, and perhaps a few graphic outputs, you need help turning them into clear, story-driven visuals.

You can send me spreadsheets, R/Python outputs, GIS layers (QGIS, shapefiles, GeoPackage, GeoJSON), or dashboard exports. I first review the material and ask a few targeted questions about your key message, audience, and constraints (journal guidelines, report format, platform, etc.). Then I propose a set of visual options: which charts or maps make sense, which comparisons to highlight, and how to simplify without losing scientific nuance.

From there I create design drafts – for example, map layouts in QGIS/Mapbox, charts based on your data, or schematic diagrams summarizing your framework or methods. You stay in control of the analysis and interpretation; I focus on visual clarity, accessibility, and accurate representation of your results. Final files are delivered in formats you can directly use in manuscripts, presentations, StoryMaps, or web articles.

How do you work in terms of pricing, timelines, and remote collaboration with clients across the world?

I work with clients internationally, so almost all of my projects are remote. We usually start with a short call or email exchange where you describe your project, share sample material (data, draft figures, article outline), and tell me about your deadlines and target outlet (journal, report, media story, etc.).

Pricing depends on scope and complexity: for small, well-defined tasks (for example, polishing a single figure or map) I often propose a fixed price; for larger projects (a full set of figures, a report layout, or an interactive piece) I estimate based on expected days of work. In every case, you receive a clear quote before we start, with what’s included (number of figures, feedback rounds, file formats).

For collaboration, I’m flexible: we can work via email, shared folders, or your preferred project tools. I send drafts at key stages so you can comment, and we iterate until the visuals match both your scientific standards and your communication goals. I’m based in Germany (CET), but I regularly coordinate with teams across different time zones.
