About

Hi, I am Elena Schuh, passionate about science, communication and design. A scientist and graphic designer by training and the founder and director of Benchtime Stories.
Since founding the company in 2016 I have had the opportunity to implement numerous projects for the pharmaceutical industry, from small leaflets, to big product launches. The expertise I have gained through these years is something that I bring into every project I get to tackle, accompanied by a huge amount of drive and enthusiasm for which I am known by both friends and clients.

Today, I lead every Benchtime Stories project personally, from strategic direction to scientific and creative quality. For projects that require additional capacity or specialist skills, I work with a trusted network of freelancers and a small support team. This allows me to stay closely involved while making sure each project has the right expertise behind it.
