Annette Shalom Rakshana

Hello there!
First of all, many thanks for dropping by. I’m Annette – a Medical Illustrator and Scientific Designer by profession and by passion. My journey to becoming a Medical Illustrator began when I searched “Medicine + Art” on Google.

Honestly, I had zero expectations, but, the results surprised me. Although my love for science navigated me to obtain a degree in Biomedical Engineering, I was always drawn to Art. Painting and sketching on the back of my classwork books were a major part of my childhood. I also wanted to work at something that I will thoroughly enjoy. So, I turned to Google in the hopes of finding what piqued my interest. My search led me to the most amazing results. I found the profession of my dreams – a way to combine my desire to create art and my love for science – “Medical Art”.  My journey wasn’t easy. Months that turned into years of learning the skills to paint digitally made me fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with international clients. I have worked with multinational corporations and I have also freelanced for most of my career. This has enabled me to work on a wide range of projects.

Some of the areas that I am proficient in are,
– 2D Medical Illustration
– Scientific Design – Infographics, Graphical Abstracts
– Branding – Logo design, Advertising material, etc.

Should you employ me, there is one thing that you can expect. Professionalism and dedication. Okay, that’s two things. 🙂 However, my goal is to provide scientifically accurate material that communicates the message clearly and swiftly. I can assure you that every project I work on will have my full attention & will be done with precision. In the end, I get to enjoy learning and working on your exciting projects and you get your scientific art needs met. It’s a win-win.

Please go through my portfolio and I hope we can help each other.

– Annette
