SELECTED WORK
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH | CONSULTANCY | SCIENCE COMMUNICATION
Science in context. Ideas made visible.
My portfolio brings together scientific expertise, research and visual communication. From graphical abstracts and mechanistic diagrams to presentations and infographics, each project starts with understanding the science and finding the clearest way to communicate it. Explore a selection of my work below.
01
FEATURED PROJECT
LECTURE SLIDES | EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS| PRESENTATION DESIGN
Oral Dysbiosis Lecture
A postgraduate lecture on oral dysbiosis, exploring how imbalances in the oral microbiome relate to health and disease. I designed the slides and figures to turn complex microbiology into a clear, engaging teaching resource.

SELECTED PROJECTS
Western Blot Lab Technique Guide
LECTURE SLIDE | EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE
An educational graphic designed to explain the principles and workflow of western blotting. Complex laboratory methods are broken down into clear visual stages, making the technique accessible for use in lecture slides, teaching materials or practical laboratory guides.
Bacterial Toxin-Mediated Mechanisms of Cellular Transformation
BIOLOGICAL PATHWAY | MECHANISM OF ACTION
Originally created for my PhD thesis and subsequently redesigned, this graphic visualises the molecular mechanisms linking bacterial toxin activity with host-cell signalling and cellular transformation. The project demonstrates the translation of complex signalling pathways into a clear and coherent scientific figure.
How Amino Acids Support Muscle Repair
INFOGRAPHIC | MECHANISM OF ACTION
An educational infographic exploring the relationship between dietary protein, amino acids and muscle repair and growth. Designed for a lay audience, the graphic translates the underlying biology into an accessible visual explanation, inspired by my own interest in strength training.
Lab Branding
LOGO DESIGN | SCIENTIFIC BRANDING
A branding exercise exploring a range of logo concepts for a fictional bioinformatics research lab. A restricted colour palette was used throughout to demonstrate how varied and distinctive scientific identities can be created within consistent visual constraints.
Cell Culture Aseptic Technique Lab Signage
A laboratory guidance poster promoting good aseptic technique and reducing the risk of cross-contamination in shared cell culture facilities. The bold visual approach was designed to stand out in information-heavy laboratory environments, communicating essential guidance clearly without overwhelming the reader.
SCIENCE COMMUNICATION | LABORATORY SIGNAGE
Promoter Orientation of the B. fragilis Capsular Polysaccharide is Turned OFF in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
(Blandford et al., 2019)
A first-author publication arising from my PhD research, encompassing experimental work, data analysis and interpretation, scientific writing and publication. I subsequently developed a graphical abstract to visually communicate the study's key findings and their biological significance.
RESEARCH PAPER | GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Miasma Theory to Germ Theory of Disease Infographic
INFOGRAPHIC | EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE
An educational graphic designed to introduce the history of microbiology to GCSE and A-level audiences. A vintage-inspired visual style reflects the historical subject matter, while accessible scientific storytelling aims to spark curiosity about how our understanding of microorganisms and disease has developed over time.
RESEARCH PUBLICATION | GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Spatial Transcriptomics Infographic
INFOGRAPHIC | EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE
An educational infographic translating the principles and workflow of spatial transcriptomics into a clear visual overview. Designed for university-level and research audiences, the graphic can be used within lectures and scientific presentations to introduce a complex molecular technique without losing essential scientific detail.
