I was introduced to Giovanna Santoni in 2021 by a former colleague of hers. I was impressed by the quality of her work and recruited her to work on the 5th edition of The Pituitary. Over the next few months, she collaborated with me and my co-authors to design, refine, and produce a set of highly original figures depicting hypothalamic and pituitary regulation of the different hormones, as well as a set of detailed illustrations depicting pituitary different neurosurgical techniques. She showed an extraordinary ability to capture the fine details that make each figure and illustration highly unique and visually compelling, while also ensuring scientific clarity and accuracy. Her design of the textbook’s cover was the perfect cap to the project. Since then, Giovanna has produced medical illustrations and graphics for the 15th edition of Williams Textbook of Endocrinology as well as for multiple NIH grant applications, published papers, and educational slide presentations. Her work is always of the highest caliber, and she brings an exceptional attention to detail and level of professionalism that make it a great pleasure to work with her. She is always timely and very accommodating to urgent requests with grace and professionalism. In sum, Giovanna is a certified medical illustrator whose outstanding work elevates the scientific and production value of every project. I recommend Giovanna Santoni and GSCMI Creative Services with enthusiasm.

I was referred to Giovanna Santoni by my Cedars Sinai colleague Dr. Adam Mamelak. I found the medical illustrations she had created for him to be very impressive and decided to reach out to her to produce illustrations for me. I’ve now had the pleasure of working with Giovanna and can attest to her expertise in translating complex medical concepts into visually stunning illustrations. Giovanna's artistic skills combined with her deep understanding of anatomy and mastery of medical illustration allowed her to bring my ideas to fruition with precision and accuracy. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to craft visually captivating illustrations exceeded my expectations. Giovanna's utmost professionalism and unwavering commitment to delivering superior work were evident throughout the entire project. I highly recommend Giovanna and GSCMI Creative Services for anyone looking to collaborate with an exceptional certified medical illustrator professional and in need of compelling medical illustrations that will greatly enhance the educational value of their presentations and publications

I strongly recommend Giovanna Santoni, who has provided scientific/medical illustrator services to my research team on numerous occasions. Our team submits 5-6 NIH grant applications per year, and Giovanna has always been very punctual and effective in creating illustrations and data figures. She has an excellent fund of knowledge of anatomy and medical illustration, which she employs during the preparation of the figures. The team has always been very satisfied with her work and her ability to strengthen our applications. She is very responsible, receptive, and flexible with her schedule.

Whenever I'm stuck on a recreate or out of ideas, I always ask Giovanna because she always knows what to do! Her illustrations are beautiful, and she is incredibly creative and comes up with fantastic ideas for ways to incorporate icons to make something more visually appealing to the learner (without sacrificing the content). She is a valued resource to new hires learning the ropes, and has taught us all a great deal about using the Adobe Suite, including Photoshop and Illustrator.
