About

I’m Lauren Shavell, an art director, designer, and medical illustrator with 30+ years of experience creating clear, accurate, and visually compelling medical artwork—from schematic concepts to highly complex illustrations. I bring a positive, creative approach to collaboration, and I’m known for my strong attention to detail and ability to match the style and tone each project requires.

I’ve worked extensively with healthcare and legal teams, producing illustrations and visual assets for educational materials, pharmaceutical marketing, websites, and medical-legal exhibits. I’m comfortable presenting and defending creative direction, incorporating feedback, and delivering polished graphics using tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign—always with the goal of helping information connect with its audience.
