I have been drawn to the idea of melting fundamental science and design — and slowly building a body of work around it.

I use the term science design in its broadest sense — from the philosophy of science, ideas and concepts, to narratives, visual language, and communication, not only with the public, but also between scientists. What interests me is finding a coherent thread that connects all of these into a unified design — something that may not be immediately noticeable, but has been thoroughly thought through.

While there are many excellent resources on data visualization, technical illustration, and scientific communication, fundamental science requires a different kind of design. The complexity and dimensionality involved are unmatched. To me, this feels like its own area of design, still in its early stages, and I would like to help shape it.

This page is a placeholder for future projects around the vision outlined above. For now, I’ve collected some of the graphics and slides from my everyday scientific work. And, of course, if this resonates with you, feel free to reach out.
