Visuals that work
You don’t need someone to blindly copy figures – you need a collaborator who understands your science and can recommend the best approach.
You have a complex story, and you need to communicate it quickly and often to funders, investors, or fellow scientists. Visuals would help, but you need an artist who can both understand the science and create beautiful imagery. General designers can copy and polish your figures, but they can’t make strategic recommendations.
That’s where Vero Science Visuals comes in.
Vero’s founder, Veronica Falconieri Hays, MA, CMI brings 12 years of professional experience visualizing science to your project. She’s a Hopkins trained medical illustrator who has partnered with 100+ biotech companies and 40+ research labs in pharma, academia, and government. Her work has been featured on the cover of Scientific American, and has received awards of excellence from both AMI and BCA, the leading organizations in the field of medical visuals.
From our clients
In all cases, the quality of work has been outstanding and the results have been extremely helpful in communicating concepts and hypotheses.
I knew I could always depend on Veronica to deliver awe-inspiring, high-quality work on deadline, and I loved working alongside her to help bring our clients’ stories to life.
Veronica is that rare mix of blue-sky thought partner and hands-on fixer. Whenever I needed to bring a client’s science to life—be it the unique structure of a molecule or an abstract concept about a new scientific platform— she never failed to deliver.
From the start [Veronica] had an exceptional understanding of our science, and translated that into useful visuals for our deck.
Veronica’s depth of scientific knowledge along with her creative artistic talent really puts her at the forefront of biomedical illustration.
