Illustrator and biologist, specialized in wildlife and scientific illustration.

Profile Summary

I work as a digital illustrator. I cover a variety of topics within naturalism and scientific illustration, with special focus in zoology, anatomy, physiology, ecology, evolution and animal behavior among others. Thanks to my experience as researcher, I am familiar with the terms and concepts in these fields, and I have a natural understanding of the needs in a scientific illustration. I have been involved in a broad varitey of projects, from pure scientific publications to outreach and education.
