Our Story

Zeeks - Art for Geeks was founded in 2022 by our director and award-winning scientist, Dr. Elisabeth Kugler. Intrigued by multi-dimensional data, microscopy, and art, Zeeks started with a vision to communicate science technology in new and unprecedented ways - including words, paint, and tone.

WE LOVE THE COMPLEX STUFF

Whether high-end imaging, computing, or technology implementation, we thrive on challenges.

In less than 24 months, we established ourselves as a strategic partner dedicated to international client success.

Spearheaded by Dr Kugler, we work with a team of academically trained freelancers across the globe who bring subject-matter scientific expertise to the table.
