Because your PhD is more than just a book
It’s a milestone that only a few ever reach.
As a former PhD scientist in cancer research, I speak your language. I know what it means to pour yourself into the data. I also know that in the final months before your defense, formatting Word documents and figuring out print margins is the last thing you want to do.
I combine my scientific background with my creative eye to design Thesis Covers and full Interior Layout Designs. I handle the formatting, the typography, and the print requirements, so you can focus entirely on preparing for your defense.my services

design portfolio & testimonials
“The final piece exceeded my expectations. Upfront, I only had a very abstract idea. Anastasia took that idea and created an even better image. The different elements of my research were put together so beautifully. To people outside of research, they might just see a collection of flowers. But for people with a scientific background, they can appreciate a breast with surrounding immune cells.”— L.V.
“Working with Anastasia was really pleasant. She translated my thoughts and research into a beautiful cover. I really like her style and the colors. I received so many compliments on the cover; it is calm and inviting, and that's what I really love about it.”— M.F.
For this cover, we wove deep personal meaning into complex biology. The abstract background was inspired by a lake near her hometown - her special place that holds a lot of personal meaning. Within this landscape, the water drops represent lipoprotein particles, and the sun represents T cells. When they interact, the sun turns red, symbolizing T cell activation. It is a deeply personal, abstract representation of the growing landscape of immune modulation."From our very first meeting, I felt the click. Anastasia was so enthusiastic about my ideas and brought them to a much higher level. I really appreciated that she had experience with exactly what is needed from a thesis cover and understood how stressful this period can be. When I finally held the book, it felt almost unreal. The scientific part was hidden in such a beautiful, artsy way. I was so proud of it that I literally brought it to friends' places and took photos of it at random locations!" - Angela M.
For this cover, we translated the physics of ultrasound into a deeply personal visual narrative. The goal was to reference sound waves: particles in the air expanding and compressing. To capture this, we wove a hidden message into the design using a Morse code-like pattern that mimics these moving particles. The code spells the word ‘expand’ - a nod to both the title of the thesis and the profound personal growth she experienced during her PhD journey. During her defense, when the committee asked about the cover, the multi-layered meaning left them completely speechless."I was relieved to finally finish this marathon, but the real emotions hit when I received the three boxes of my printed thesis. I felt so proud of my achievement, and proud to have an abstract cover that holds such deep, hidden meaning. As someone finishing a PhD, there is a lot you need to worry about. Ana was so relaxed, helpful, and insanely flexible! The fact that she was completely supporting was a massive help. I look back on the process with so much joy."- Amne M.
