Hi, I'm Martina.
I help people in science, technology and impact-focused organizations transform complex ideas into clear visual stories, so that they can drive understanding and action on what matters most.

Perfect for education, research papers, and presentations
I make sure important ideas stand out and can be grasped effectively using a clear and bright style.
With a strong physics background and a deep curiosity for how things work, I take the time to understand the science and purpose behind each illustration. This allows me to craft well-organized and accurate pieces, which are not just visually appealing but also powerful tools for communication.
ideal for communication and outreach
Comic-style visuals make complex topics more friendly and engaging for non-technical audiences. Through a thoughtful simplification process, I distill scientific and technical concepts into accessible visuals without compromising accuracy.
This style works for playful, cute illustrations or more serious, thought-provoking narratives and extends the reach of science and impact-driven ideas beyond traditional boundaries.
What clients say
Martina is a highly skilled professional with a creative mind. She delivers some of the best artwork and always does it on time! Highly recommend her work as she will bring your idea to life with her dedicated work ethic and great attention to detail.
I partnered with Martina to create my first children's health picture book, Bad Bug Busters: Vaccines vs. Germs, and am thrilled with the final product! Martina was excellent to work with throughout the process. Her communication was clear and timely, she was very receptive to (and patient with) my feedback, and her illustrations perfectly combined scientific accuracy with creativity to engage young readers and bring my story to life.
Martina was very easy to work with, quick to respond and quick to understand exactly what was needed. Love the end product and can't wait to use the images in my project.
About me
I’m a graphic designer with a background in theoretical physics. I specialize in turning complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals. I'm not just creating pretty pictures; I help clients craft a cohesive communication that actually gets results: educating, securing funding, driving real impact, and more.
I get most energized figuring out how to explain something, whether that’s cutting-edge research, educational content, or world-changing ideas. I dig deep to understand both your technical content and your ultimate goals before creating anything. You can expect a transparent, collaborative process that respects your expertise while bringing fresh visual perspectives to your work.
Outside of work, you’ll find me out in nature, playing the piano, or getting lost in epic fantasy books.
