Report & Book Visuals 

Making complex information accessible is a balancing act. My approach reduces reader fatigue by using design as a functional tool, ensuring your visuals don’t just look professional but actively communicate your message.

​

What I can create:

  • Technical diagrams and conceptual figures

  • Infographic report synopses and graphic summaries

  • Book covers and interior illustrations

  • Custom icons and layouts for papers and reports

Editorial Style Illustrations

Illustrations that invite your audience in.
Research and policy work gains far greater impact when it's visually engaging. I create editorial-style illustrations for books, papers and keynotes that draw audiences in, spark curiosity and keep people engaged with your ideas.


What I can create:​​

  • Editorial Artwork: Engaging visuals for book covers, journals, and policy papers.

  • Visual Frameworks: Illustrations for keynote talks and conference posters that anchor your message.

  • Concept-led Graphics: Narrative artwork designed for research communication and storytelling.

  • Media-Ready Visuals: High-impact illustrations for press releases and digital media.

Communication Workshops 

Turn expertise into engagement.

I run tailored workshops for researchers and organisations to build confidence in visual communication, giving teams practical tools to engage their audiences.


Previous workshop topics:

  • Visual storytelling for policy briefs and technical reports

  • Drawing your PhD: visual storytelling for researchers

  • Amplifying your research on social media
