Our Expertise

Science communication is not a creative service. It is a scientific discipline.

The difference between science communication done well and done quickly is whether the person building the story understands the biology. We do: Certified Medical Illustrators, AMI members, science writers with domain expertise, and strategists who have spent twenty five years at the intersection of science and communication.

Certification & methodology

Certified. Accountable. Human.

The largest concentration of Certified Medical Illustrators (CMI) in North America.

Certification means the science in every illustration and animation is reviewed and validated against current understanding. It is a professional standard with accountability attached, not a marketing badge.

Our methodology starts upstream, before the brief.

Before the storyboard, before a single frame is designed, we start with the science, the audience, and the argument. What has to be true for this audience to believe what it needs to? That question governs every project.

The team

The people behind the work.

We don't hire generalists and train them in biotech. We hire people for whom biotech is the only industry that makes sense.
