Our services

We create visual artworks for Research and Innovation

We believe that collaboration between the arts and sciences is the most effective method for communicating ideas in research and innovation.

We translate high-level scientific concepts into visual storytelling: illustrations, comics and animations, making your content engaging, clear and memorable.

What do we do ?

We work closely with researchers to understand their needs and objectives, and then uses a combination of research, creativity, and technical expertise to develop high-quality visual materials that effectively communicate scientific concepts.

Illustrations & Comics

We use illustrations to communicate at a glance one concept. Comics supply a visual and narrative translation of scientific concepts maintaining their independence as a form of expression.

How does it work ?

Firstly, we listen to your needs in terms of research communication. For example, we discuss with you your research activities, we clarify the message you want to convey, your public target and your expected impact,
Secondly, we identify the kind of communication tool and storytelling style is the best fit for your project. We can produce animations, illustrations, comics and boards.
Then, we hand pick the artist(s) best suited to work with you in terms of style and experience. Or, you can pick one from our roster.
Next, we dive into translating your research into art, creating settings, moodboards, drafts and storyboards!

Who are we for ?

We bring to the research and innovation community unique tools for powerful scientific communication that create real and lasting connections with multiple target audiences: general public, end-users, policy makers, funders and institutions, partners, experts and interdisciplinary research communities.
