About
My name is Puna Neumeier. I am a recent honors graduate of the University of Missouri - Columbia campus. I am a scientific illustrator, science journalist, cultural anthropologist and character designer. Many of my illustrative works have been utilized by professors in the University of Missouri system in departments such as anthropology, geography, and agriculture. However, scientific artworks aren’t the only masterpieces I can create. I also create character designs, bringing concepts to life for my clients.
