Alexis Demetriades Medical Illustration

About

I specialize in visually communicating complex medical concepts to a wide range of audiences, from medical professionals and patients to shareholders in medical device companies. I work closely with my clients to ensure that each illustration succinctly and accurately conveys their ideas.

Selected clients include: the American College of Surgeons, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Springer Publishing, Planned Parenthood, Roybal Diabetes Clinic, The American Chemical Society, and MedStudy among others.

Below you will find a small sample of my illustrations. To see more of my work or to discuss collaborating, please contact me.
