Publication-quality figures, built from your research
We design scientific figures for journal submissions, grant applications, graphical abstracts, and conference posters — to your journal’s exact specifications, from your own data. No templates. No stock imagery.

How it works
From brief to final figure
A straightforward process designed around your timeline and your journal’s requirements.
01
Send your brief
Share your raw figures, sketches, and any reference material. Tell us your target journal and deadline — we’ll respond with a quote and timeline within three working days.
02
Initial design
We produce a first draft in greyscale or colour for your review, based on your data and our understanding of your research context and target audience.
03
Review & refine
You review and provide feedback. We revise through structured rounds until the figure accurately represents your findings and meets your expectations.
04
Final delivery
Final files delivered in all required formats — print-ready resolution, correct colour mode, and sized exactly to your journal’s figure specifications.
Technical specifications
Every format your journal requires
Different journals have different requirements. Nature, Cell, PLOS, Science and thousands of other publications each specify their own resolution, file format, and colour mode requirements.
We handle all of this as part of every commission. You tell us your target journal; we produce the files to spec. If you’re submitting to multiple journals, we can provide the same figure in multiple formats.
File formats we supply:
What’s included in every commission
- Figures produced to your target journal’s resolution and colour mode (RGB or CMYK)
- Structured review rounds with direct feedback on each draft
- Editable source files supplied alongside print-ready exports
- Colourblind-safe palette options available on request
- Multi-panel figures assembled and labelled to journal style
- Quote and timeline confirmed within three working days of your brief
Who we work with
Supporting research at every stage
From PhD students preparing their first submission to research groups with ongoing publishing programmes.
PhD researchers & postdocs
First journal submission or revising for a second round? We produce figures that meet the standards peer reviewers expect, and explain our design decisions so you understand why.
Principal investigators & research groups
Multiple papers in parallel, or a group with regular publishing output? We work with labs as a reliable, responsive partner for ongoing figure production across all disciplines.
Grant applicants
Grant panels review many applications quickly. Clear, well-designed figures make your science immediately legible. We’re experienced with NIH, ERC, Wellcome, Science Foundation Ireland, and other major schemes.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I send you my materials?
You can share files via email, Google Drive or Dropbox. Raw figures, sketches, annotated screenshots, or even a detailed description are all useful starting points. We’ll request anything we need after reviewing your brief.
How many rounds of revision are included?
We include structured review rounds as standard — typically three passes but depending on the complexity of the figure. Our process is built around getting the figure right, not limiting feedback.
Do you produce figures for non-biological sciences?
Yes. We work across life sciences, chemistry, environmental science, physics, and engineering. Our background spans multiple disciplines, and we’re experienced producing technical figures for a wide range of fields.
What if my journal has unusual specifications?
Send us the journal’s author guidelines and we’ll work to them. We regularly produce figures for journals with specific requirements around font sizes, line weights, panel labelling, and colour modes.
Can you redesign existing figures from a submitted paper?
Yes. If a journal has returned revisions requesting improved figures, or if you want to bring older published figures up to current standards for a review article, we can work from your existing files.
What is your typical turnaround time?
This depends on the complexity and number of figures required. We confirm a timeline with every quote. If you have a specific submission deadline, let us know at the outset and we’ll tell you whether it’s achievable.
