Design and Illustration for Public Sector Organisations
I’ve worked with public sector organisations at every level since 2003, from town councils and NHS trusts to national partnerships and government-funded programmes. Public sector communications have to work hard and reach everyone. Broad and diverse audiences, accessibility requirements, multiple stakeholders with different priorities, and the constant need to demonstrate value and impact to the communities you serve. Add in cautious sign-off processes and limited budgets, and you’ve got one of the more demanding creative briefs there is.
Community Engagement Materials
From consultation documents to event graphics, I create materials that help public sector organisations connect with their communities in a way that feels genuinely welcoming rather than officially obligatory.
Maps and Wayfinding
Illustrated maps, walking guides, and wayfinding graphics that make local areas feel inviting and accessible. Practical, characterful and designed to be picked up and used.
Campaign and Awareness Materials
Whether it’s a public health message, an environmental initiative or a community programme, I create campaign visuals that cut through and speak to real people — not just tick a communications box.
Reports and Strategy Documents
Annual reports, impact documents and partnership reports that are clear, well-structured, and designed to communicate your work with the credibility and clarity it deserves.
Illustration Suites for Comms Teams
A library of on-brand illustrations your team can use consistently across all channels, from printed materials to digital communications, without starting from scratch every time.
Why me?
Twenty years of working alongside public sector teams, councils, NHS organisations, education bodies, government-funded programmes and beyond, means I understand both the constraints and the ambitions. I work as a creative partner, bringing strategic thinking, illustration, and design skills that complement your in-house expertise and give you the capacity to produce communications that feel genuinely human. No institutional caution. Just clear, considered work that connects with real people.

Let’s work together.
If you’ve got a project that needs clear, human-centred design, illustration, branding or a combo of all three, I’d love to work with you.
