About
Soil scientist by training.
Storyteller by choice.
Soil scientist + scientific illustrator + science content strategist
I trained as a soil scientist. The deeper I went into soil biology and biological farming, the clearer one gap became: nobody was explaining any of it simply.
I left research after watching good companies struggle to explain their own science. That problem became Soil Stories.
Today I run an India-based studio alongside my wife, Dimple Patel, working with agriculture and biological brands worldwide. We turn research and product science into content people can understand and trust.

How we work
We dig into your science, layer by layer
Every piece of work, from a single illustration to a monthly series, goes through the same five steps.
-
01Surface
Discovery call
We talk about your product, your audience, and the part of your science people find hardest to understand.
You getA clear brief -
02Topsoil
Science deep dive
I read the research, trial data and product documents, and find the mechanism that really matters.
You getA science outline you approve -
03Root zone
Story and sketch
I turn the science into a simple story and rough sketches, so you see the idea before anything is drawn.
You getStoryline and sketches -
04Subsoil
Design and review
Final visuals and copy, with review rounds to check scientific accuracy and brand fit.
You getScience-checked drafts -
05Bedrock
Deliver and grow
You get ready-to-use files. On a partnership, we plan the next month and keep building.
You getReady-to-publish content
Services
Two ways to work together
One soil scientist researches the science and draws the visuals. Start with a single project, or run an ongoing monthly series. Both follow the same three steps.
One finished asset
Project based
You need one clear piece. We fix the scope and the price up front, with no open-ended hours.
- Agree scope and priceOne call, then a written quote you approve.
- I research and draw itScience and visuals from the same person.
- You get the finished pieceReady-to-use files, science checked.
A cost-efficient content engine
Monthly partnership
A cost-efficient way to run a steady content system, without hiring a full-time content role.
- Plan the series togetherTopics mapped to your product science.
- I produce everythingResearch, copy, custom visuals and posts.
- Monthly reviewWe check the work and plan ahead each month.
