for Research & Publishing
Bespoke, publication-ready scientific illustrations crafted with over 20 years of research experience — communicating your science with clarity and precision.
About the Service
Turning Complex Research Into Clear, Compelling Visuals
Scientific research deserves to be seen and understood. Whether you’re preparing a manuscript for a high-impact journal, creating a graphical abstract, or developing visuals for a grant proposal, professionally designed scientific illustrations make your work stand out and communicate effectively to a broad audience.
At Science Design Services, we work closely with researchers, academics, and publishers to translate complex data, concepts, and processes into precise, informative illustrations. With a background spanning over two decades in research, we understand not just the design brief — we understand the science behind it.
Based in Leitrim, Ireland, we offer our scientific illustration services to clients worldwide across biology, medicine, ecology, materials science, chemistry, and engineering.

Our Clients
Who We Work With
Our clients come from a wide range of backgrounds — from individual PhD researchers preparing their first journal submission, to established academics with regular publication needs, to science publishers and communications agencies.
We regularly work with researchers in biology, ecology, biomedical science, materials science, chemistry, environmental science, and engineering. If your discipline involves communicating complex information visually, we can help.
We also work with grant writers, science communicators, and institutions who need high-quality visuals for funding applications, public engagement campaigns, and educational materials.
