About Veronika Mertens
I am a 3D - Artist surrounded by scientists, and my lab is my sketchbook and laptop.
I studied communication design and object design, and my passion is to use my skills to visualize and re-tell scientific stories in pictures.
I offer crystal clear custom flow schematics for your figures, presentations and grants, 3D-rendered experimental setups, molecules, cells, structures, and creative journal cover illustrations that tell your published story in new and exciting ways.
