Hello
Hello there! And welcome to my webpage. My name is Chris Miszczak, and I have been a graphic designer & Illustrator for many, many years. The journey towards medical illustration has been very unique and personal, but with a passion for the sciences, healthcare, medicine and the arts, it all just made sense.
I like to bring care and kindness into each working relationship and piece of artwork.
I have earned my professional membership after studying public relations and being on the PR committee for the AMI. The goal is to work alongside the fields of healthcare, research, academia and publications to create captivating visuals and life-long working relationships.
It is because of this unique background in public relations, journalism, illustration, graphic design, and, of course, the sciences, healthcare, medicine, and the fine arts that I know I bring a unique perspective to both my work and my working relationships. Every opportunity to connect with others is an opportunity to learn, listen, and implement unique goals for what each client is looking for.
Therefore, I am looking forward to hearing from you to learn about your own amazing work in the field, and I can now help bring your unique vision to life.

Getting in touch with me
I certainly do not mind getting in touch via email; in fact, I like writing and staying in touch with many mentors and friends this way. When it comes to future clients, I still prefer to make sure you are who you say you are. The internet is a place where there are plenty of untrustworthy people. The contact form below helps answer some of the questions I would take the time to explore myself.
If you still want to get in touch, I invite you to use the form below so we can discuss your project in more detail. I also prefer not to include my phone number for personal reasons.
