I structure complex information so it can be understood, used, and acted on. This typically involves high-stakes presentations, data-heavy reports, or communication systems that need to scale — where clarity directly affects understanding and decision-making. Alongside a part-time design leadership role, I take on a small number of external projects where structure, clarity, and visual thinking are critical. Most of my work begins where content is already complex — but not yet clearly organised. That’s often where communication breaks down: in reports that are difficult to navigate, presentations that don’t land, or data that is technically correct but hard to interpret. My background is in information design (The Guardian, Kantar), combined with product and delivery experience. I work across the full lifecycle — from early framing through to production-ready outputs and systems that teams can continue using independently. --- What I do This shows up in three types of work: - Strategic presentations — investor decks, internal strategy, technical narratives - Data visualisation and infographics — reports, editorial, dashboards, storytelling systems - Communication systems — templates, guidelines, and repeatable visual frameworks --- How I approach projects Design is not a final layer — it’s a way of structuring thinking. The work starts with clarity: - what needs to be communicated - how the information is organised - where complexity needs to be reduced From there, I develop visual systems that make the material clear, consistent, and scalable. Where needed, I introduce structure — timelines, hierarchies, or delivery frameworks — so the design reflects the logic of the content, not just its appearance. --- Clients and recognition I’ve worked with organisations including The Guardian, The New York Times, Google, Deloitte, OECD, IBM, and the United Nations — typically on work where clarity, scale, and stakeholder alignment are critical. - Information is Beautiful Award (Silver) - Macmillan Prize for Illustration (Highly Commended) - Work published in The Guardian, Fast Company, and The Atlas of Infographics (Taschen) --- Working together I work on projects where: - complexity makes communication difficult - clarity affects decisions, not just presentation - the output needs to scale beyond a single deliverable If you’re working on something along those lines, feel free to reach out with a bit of context — I’m happy to take a look and see if it’s a good fit. --- Selected testimonials “Zhenia is a phenomenal designer who consistently over-delivered on expectations. His portfolio is very impressive and I would recommend his expertise without hesitation.” — Sean McClure, Brand Strategy Executive “Zhenia is a very talented designer and a delight to work with.

I’m an experienced postdoctoral scientist with a research background spanning the chemical and life sciences. As a freelancer, I’ve written or edited many journal manuscripts, grant applications, newsletters and more. The main writing/editing jobs I can help you with include: • Peer-reviewed journal articles. • Grant applications, especially for Innovate UK. • Scientific review articles (website content and journal manuscripts). I aim to write clear, engaging, well-researched and accurate material that’s tailored to your target audience, whether that be academic readers, grant reviewers or website visitors. As an editor, I work with clients to achieve similar goals while ensuring compliance with journal author guidelines or relevant style guides (such as editing for British English or US English). Since June 2023, I’ve worked as lead writer on 11 Innovate UK applications (including one Smart Grant that received funding and a Biomedical Catalyst bid that was invited to interview). While in academia, I wrote or contributed to research grants for various funding bodies including BBSRC, MRC, EPSRC, Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK. My academic research career generated over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles (including 16 as first or last author), and also gave me considerable experience in writing/reviewing papers and grant applications. My academic publications span the areas of organic chemistry, biochemistry and drug discovery, and currently have over 1,000 combined citations (Google Scholar). I’ve regularly assisted Masters and PhD students with their dissertations by providing proofreading and mentoring services, so if you need support with your academic writing, I’d like to help! I’ve built up a broad knowledge base across the chemical, biomedical and life sciences, gained through working on a diverse range of research projects over the years (with various links across academia and industry) and collaborating with many freelance clients. I’m highly familiar with reviewing and searching the scientific literature to research a topic in depth, then producing concise writing based on this if required (see portfolio for examples). My main areas of scientific interest are biochemistry and molecular biology, enzymology, organic and medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, and screening assay design. From my wider reading, I have additional knowledge in DNA damage/repair, cell biology, biomedical science, cancer research and issues relating to diet and nutrition. Previous Upwork jobs have been varied and have covered topics including medicine, finance, business, recruitment, real estate and education.
