About Esporas Lab
It was a very smooth and comfortable working process, and we were more than satisfied with the result. Given this experience, whenever our organization develops projects that require graphic materials, Esporas Lab will be our first choice.

What makes us different?
One of our key differentiators is the value we place on a close and personalized approach, both with our clients and with the information we work with. This unique sensitivity is reflected in the way we generate and visually share information. Science often tends to harden information, but at Esporas Lab, we seek methodologies and tools that maintain the technical and scientific accuracy of concepts and processes, while also highlighting the people behind the science and the steps leading up to the results.
This approach not only humanizes science, but also makes audiences feel more comfortable with the information, more open to receiving it, and more inclined to feel a part of it. It also facilitates the integration of this information into their lives and allows for a deeper connection with the projects.
The combination of technical precision and sensitivity in visual communication is what makes us unique and why our projects are so well received.

What do they say about us?
Working with Esporas Lab was incredibly easy. Whenever we try to communicate science, no matter how well we do it, it often ends up being just words. But with Esporas Lab, it transforms into beautiful images that inspire people to want to learn more.

Overall, we really liked the design and style from the very first draft. In this context, I believe you made a great decision in choosing a more “realistic” drawing style than what we had initially discussed. I think it was the right call, as you recognized that we were looking for the biodiversity and geodiversity elements to be easily identifiable.
Regarding the working process, I want to highlight your willingness to clearly explain everything and openly discuss feedback on each draft. In conclusion, it was a very smooth and comfortable collaboration, and we are more than satisfied with the result.
Given this experience, whenever our organization undertakes projects that require the creation of graphic materials, Esporas Lab will be our first choice.
