About me

Predominantly specialising in Health Illustration, I work in collaboration with individual health experts, broader health and design agencies and well-being publishers to create effective visual content; using illustration as an engaging communicative device to explain complex subjects.
I've worked with a number of health and design agencies, working to develop both their In-house visual brand and their extended clients' projects where I have used illustration in website design, research reports and app designs.

I've created 7 'graphic medicine' novels on topics such as Pain, Trauma, Autism, Anxiety, Forgiveness, Dementia and Touch. Anxiety is Really Strange and Pain is Really Strange are part of The Reading Well Scheme which allows people to loan the books in every library in England.

Trauma is Really Strange was used in the publication 'Addressing Adversity' by a NHS funded charity 'Young Minds' which served as part of their 'Beyond Adversity' campaign to call on the government to provide better Mental health services to young people. The book compiled a collection of reports, case studies and evidence from health care professionals to raise awareness of the affect of adversity and trauma on young peoples' mental health.

Anxiety Is Really Strange was Highly Commended in the category 'Popular Medicine' in the 2018 BMA Medical Book Awards.
