Hola! I’m Belén
I am a postdoc at MIT with a passion for visual science communication.
I have been using Adobe Illustrator for 10+ years to create figures for research papers, reviews, grant proposals and presentations.
Now I want to share this knowledge with you so that you can focus on your next exciting experiment instead of manually changing colors!
