Life science illustrations for educators, researchers, and fans of life.

Hi! My name is Zoë Isabella.  I have worked in science education for 9 years and currently live in North Carolina.  I believe that illustration can play a role in connecting the world of scientific research and discovery to educators and curious people.

You are most welcome to reach out if you are interested in working with me on a scientific communication project, such as figures or editorial illustrations, for research and educational publications.  Email zoe@zoeillustrations.com or fill in a contact form.
