  • Anatomii has an exceptional ability to connect interpersonally and build trust.

    From coming prepared with advanced research to aptly understanding our needs to visually capture diversity, it was clear Anatomii equally invested in creating products that would benefit our audience.

    - Andrea Librado & Tara McFadden

  • We worked with Anatomii to create a package of illustrations and icons for an upcoming project, and we could not have picked a better team to collaborate with. This efficient and flexible team was able to capture all of our ideas and produce incredible images for our project.

    - Wendy Xie

  • Nati is a talented, energetic, smart and highly respected biomedical visualization specialist. A methodical gem and exceptionally clear communicator, Nati always goes above and beyond expectations.

    I had the pleasure of watching Nati flawlessly lead the development of digital multilanguage content for the ACTIVATE program which aims to build a gold standard telehealth model for clinics serving at-risk populations across the country.

    Nati is a consummate professional, an absolute delight and an incredible asset to every single project!

  • We sit at an intersection that most studios don't occupy: graduate-level biomedical communications expertise, trauma-informed design principles, participatory design methodology, and validated health literacy frameworks, applied together on every project.

    Most of our team members hold MSc degrees in Biomedical Communications from the University of Toronto.

    Our combination of scientific training, health literacy standards, and community-centred design is what makes our resources accurate, accessible, and genuinely usable.
