Andreas has experience both from the industry and academia, having worked in pharma for three years and becoming Assoc. Prof. at Uppsala University in 2017. During his time at Uppsala, Andreas got known as the go-to guy for illustrations, and started the Visualize Your Science course in 2011 due to popular demand. As interest in the course grew, Andreas saw an opportunity to teach full time, and left academia in 2016 to start his own company. Andreas is the resident expert in Blender and Affinity Designer.

The goal of our courses is to teach researchers skills in design and illustration that will make you
comfortable creating journal covers, posters, and presentations in an effective manner. Our courses are tailored towards Ph.D. students, but
anyone is welcome to join, even if you don't need the credits.

Our workshops will give you a taste of what is taught in our certified Ph.D. courses. Here you will learn the fundamentals of good design and how to avoid common pitfalls in science communication. We offer adaptable workshops that run over a couple of hours or span multiple days, you decide the depth of the knowledge that you require.
Time is a valuable and limited resource and sometimes there simply isn't enough of it to sit down and learn how to create beautiful images yourself.
The solution? Let us do it for you! With backgrounds in natural science, our team is expertly suited to translate your research into beautiful visuals for your next cover submission or grant application.

Our journey
We offer courses in data analysis, statistics, machine learning, and so much more.
We also have an award-winning team of experts who will teach you what you need to know.
It was a Friday evening and Andreas was having a good time with his fellow colleagues in the coffee room at the department of Analytical Chemistry at Uppsala university. The discussion eventually led into why Andreas spend so much time creating drawings instead of doing lab work. He defended himself but was later convinced to develop a course in how to create better images for PhD-students.
Visualize your Science course was given for the first time to 14 on Andreas' colleagues, two could not attend and they asked for another course.
Spring 2011: The idea is born
Regular code reviews and live sessions with tutors from the tech industry will give you the soft skills you need to get hired and succeed at work.
Community included
If you are feeling stuck or need help with something, we have a thriving community of professionals on our discussion forums who are happy to lend a hand. You won't find that anywhere else!
