My story
Welcome! Ciska here...
Welcome to LabGraphicStudio, where science meets art in the world of graphic design. I'm Ciska Labuschagne, the heart and mind behind this unique venture. With a foundation in microbiology and biochemistry and a blossoming passion for graphic design, I offer bespoke graphic design services ranging from website and logo design to specialized academic and scientific research graphics. Our aim is to make complex ideas accessible and engaging to both the academic community and the general public.
My academic journey began with a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, followed by an honours degree in Advanced Biochemistry. While advancing my studies in Industrial Engineering and Graphic Design, I discovered my true calling. Transitioning from a research laboratory manager in a biogas company to the realm of graphic design, I’ve found a profound sense of fulfillment in bridging the gap between my love for science and my creative spirit.
For years, I struggled to find a way to blend my scientific background with my artistic inclinations. It wasn’t until I took the leap into graphic design that I realized how seamlessly these worlds could merge. Leaving behind the predictability of laboratory work, I embarked on a journey that has already shown remarkable progress, securing significant clients within my first month. This venture not only reignites my creative spark but also allows me to utilize my analytical skills to transform complex scientific concepts into visually compelling narratives.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me with a paintbrush in hand or immersed in the world of documentaries. These hobbies not only enrich my personal life but also inspire my professional work, infusing it with a sense of wonder and a broader perspective.
Currently, our focus is on website design, but the vision extends far beyond. We aim to delve deeper into technical graphics, ultimately supporting ourselves entirely through graphic design. This aspiration reflects our commitment to not only our craft but also to providing unparalleled service to our clients.
What Sets Us Apart
At LabGraphicStudio, our distinctive edge lies in our deep understanding of the scientific domain coupled with our creative prowess. This unique combination enables us to create custom graphics that effectively communicate intricate ideas to a wider audience. We recognize that while our clients excel in their fields, crafting visuals that resonate with the public requires a different set of skills - skills that we proudly bring to the table.
