Scientific Illustrator / Data Visualization Specialist Needed for Conceptual Policy Figure

Job Description I am a health policy researcher and regulator developing a conceptual diagram used in teaching, policy presentations, and academic writing. The figure illustrates the relationship between health system revenue growth and operating expense growth under payment reform, and how sustainability requires bending the cost curve before revenue growth slows. I have an existing conceptual version of the figure and several drafts. I am looking for a designer to create a clear, professional visual suitable for presentations and publication. This is not a data-heavy chart. It is a conceptual diagram with several trajectories that explain an economic relationship. Scope of Work The figure will include: 4–5 curved trajectories showing revenue and cost growth paths a marker indicating the start of a “reform era” shaded regions illustrating margin compression and cost adaptation clear, minimal labeling directly on the lines a clean editorial visual style The goal is a graphic similar in style to figures used in: The Economist Financial Times policy research reports academic publications The emphasis should be clarity and conceptual communication, not decorative design.
