Stuart F.

Experienced Scientific Artist, Visualiser and Technical Illustrator

Llandeilo, United Kingdom
$50 per hour
55 jobs
$60K+ total earnings

I am a UK-based illustrator specialising in technical and scientific subject matter with over 30 years of experience in a range of industry sectors from engineering technology to product design, map making and visualisation. I currently run my own business providing illustration services to clients looking for technical artwork for Brochures, User Guides, Manuals and Web Applications. The nature of the work requires an ability to quickly grasp a technical understanding of the subject, which can vary enormously between clients, and understand what needs to be illustrated in a way that best showcases the products or services. For these reasons, I believe that my illustration skills, experience and technical understanding can make me a valuable contributor to any client team.
