Hello there!
I am Gayathri residing in Chennai, India.
I am an independent science illustrator for the past two years. I hold a master's degree in Nanotechnology and have 8 years of research experience in the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology and nanomedicine.
Started sketching out of personal interest, which gradually turned in to a passion in conveying complex scientific concepts and ideas in the form of easy-to-understand illustrations. I also enjoy sketching stylized portraits and anime fanarts.
