ABOUT

I’m Dr. Lucy Emily Blandford — a scientist-turned-designer with a PhD in Cellular Microbiology and a passion for transforming complex research into clear, compelling visuals.

​

With over a decade of academic research experience and published work in host–microbiome interactions, molecular biology, and microbial pathogenesis, I understand the importance of communicating science with both accuracy and clarity. During a career break/lockdown, I retrained in graphic design — gaining proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and UI/UX principles — and found a new way to communicate science through design.

​

Now, I combine scientific expertise with visual storytelling to create infographics, graphical abstracts, posters, presentations, and custom visuals that make research more accessible — whether for journal submission, grant proposals, public outreach, or lab training.

​

I design with researchers in mind: bold, clean, and data-driven visuals that help ideas stick and elevate the impact of your work.
