I'm Stephenie Brophy Lee, a Technical Officer in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), with a background in astrophysics, graphic design and science communication.
Alongside my technical and research support, I also create graphic design and illustration work for scientific publications, research projects, conferences and public engagement activities. My work includes scientific diagrams, branding, promotional materials and digital communications, with illustrations featured in international peer-reviewed publications and on the European Space Agency's website.
I hold a BSc in Physics with Astronomy, an MSc in Astrophysics, an MBA in Luxury Business Management, and an associate certificate in graphic design.
My main area of interests are in scientific illustration and communication and making complex scientific concepts accessible through effective design. I also enjoy working on creative projects beyond the scientific sector, including branding, illustration and event design.
