About Diogo

Diogo Guerra a Lisbon-based medical illustrator, with a background in veterinary medicine. 

“Having worked as a veterinarian & researcher, I realised how poor the investment in visual scientific materials still is.

Science is about communicating our findings, so we need to start speaking louder and better. My scientific background is essential to understand the topics & translate ideas efficiently, while developing new and original figures.”

A big talent in the field of medical and veterinary illustration, Diogo brings a fresh design perspective to the illustrations and products he creates. You can see this in his high-quality resources for Veterinary Medicine.
