About

I’m Leonardo S. Laguna, a marine biologist and scientific illustrator with five years of professional experience turning complex ocean science into clear, accurate visuals. I combine my biology background with 3D visualization, animation, and infographic design to support conservation and research, from education materials to project-ready technical visuals.

I’ve worked with organizations and teams across marine science, NGOs, aquaculture, engineering, and renewable energy—producing everything from scientific illustrations and diagrams to 3D scenes, installation/technical guides, and demonstrative videos. I’m especially interested in projects where science, technology, and visual storytelling come together to communicate real-world ocean challenges and solutions.
