I turn scientific ideas into illustrations, animation and interactive experiences.
Hi, I’m Melanie — an illustrator and motion designer based in northern Germany, with a background in biology. Through Percenara, I combine scientific understanding with visual storytelling to make complex subjects clear, engaging and approachable.

My professional journey began at the Senckenberg Museum für Naturkunde Görlitz.
I later worked as a content designer at simpleclub, creating visual explanations of complex scientific topics.
Today, my work ranges from species illustrations to interactive learning experiences. I’m especially interested in how organisms develop, behave and interact with their environments — and how visual design can help people explore those connections.

Every project starts with the science and the people it needs to reach. What should they understand, discover or be able to do?
From there, I develop a visual approach that fits the subject: a detailed illustration, an animated explanation or an interactive experience that invites exploration.
Using Rive, I create visuals that let people move between stages, reveal structures and explore information at their own pace. Illustration, movement and interaction each serve a purpose — helping the content become easier to understand.
