About Us
Making Breakthrough Science Impossible to Ignore
For 20 years, SayoStudio has been translating complex science into visuals that drive real outcomes—closed funding rounds, published research, and technologies that move from lab to market.
We're not a typical design studio. We're a team of scientists, illustrators, and strategists who understand both the technical depth of your work and the business pressure to communicate it clearly. Whether you're explaining carbon capture to investors or visualizing cellular mechanisms for stakeholders, we bring scientific rigor and visual storytelling together.
Why we Exist
Great science doesn’t always speak for itself.
Too often, groundbreaking ideas lose momentum, not because the research is weak, but because the story gets lost in translation.
Technical diagrams make sense to scientists, but not to investors or policymakers. Stock graphics make ideas look polished, but not credible. The result is a communication gap where understanding, and opportunity, fall apart. We help close that gap.
At SayoStudio, we work with climate tech and life science teams translating complex, world-changing ideas into visuals that connect people across disciplines: scientists, investors, and the public alike.
Our Approach
Applying Real Scientific Expertise
Scientific Fluency First
Our founder has a biochemistry degree and lab experience. Our team includes professionals with backgrounds in biology, earth science, and animal science. We don’t just make things look good, —we understand what we’re visualizing at a technical level.
Strategic, Not Decorative
Every visual we create serves a specific goal: close a funding round, win a contract, explain a mechanism, differentiate in the market. We start with strategy, not style.
Built for Scale
The assets we create work across your entire ecosystem—pitch decks, websites, conferences, social media, press materials. One investment, multiple applications.
Integrated with Your Growth Partners
As part of the H.M. Bioconsortium, we connect our visual communication expertise with broader commercialization strategy. Whether you need visuals as part of a complete market entry plan or want to coordinate messaging across branding, IP, and investor relations, we work within a network of specialists who understand life science and climate tech companies.
Meet The Team
Nicolle R. Fuller
Founder & CEO
Nicolle founded SayoStudio after watching too many brilliant scientists lose opportunities because they couldn’t communicate why their work mattered. With a BA in biochemistry, graduate certificate in science illustration, and 20 years visualizing research for organizations like the National Science Foundation, Google Quantum AI, and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, she bridges the gap between technical accuracy and compelling storytelling.
Her work has appeared in Nature, Time magazine, and on university billboards worldwide. She co-hosts a podcast interviewing scientists from leading research institutions and is a frequent speaker on science communication.
Claire Agosti
Partner & COO
Claire has been integral to SayoStudio’s growth since joining in 2019, leading operations and creative delivery on flagship projects for Google Quantum AI, the Benioff Ocean Science Initiative, and climate technology innovators. She specializes in translating complex ideas into visual narratives that are both precise and accessible.
Her background sits at the intersection of science, language, and visual storytelling. With an undergraduate education on a pre-med track, followed by work as an emergency medicine scribe and internships in virology research and mobile surgical care, she developed a deep fluency in scientific thinking.
Angela Hohn
Business Director
Angela keeps SayoStudio running smoothly with over a decade of experience in operations and administration. She ensures projects stay on track, communication flows seamlessly, and clients experience a polished, professional partnership.
