About the Service

Turning Complex Research Into Clear, Compelling Visuals

Visualization of heat distribution across a material, illustrating temperature gradients and flow patterns.

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.

The Process

How We Work Together

Every project is a collaboration. Here’s what the process looks like from first contact to final delivery.

01

Brief & Quote

Tell us about your project — what you need, when you need it, and what it’s for. We respond with a timeline and quote within two working days.

02

Concept & Draft

We develop initial concepts from your materials — data, sketches, descriptions, or reference images — and share drafts for your feedback.

03

Revise & Refine

We work through revisions together until the illustration accurately represents your research and meets your visual requirements.

04

Final Delivery

Files delivered in your required formats — high-resolution TIFF, EPS, PDF, SVG, or any format your journal or publisher specifies.


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.
