Illustration + Graphic Design
Illustration and graphic design can bring your projects to life, help you reach wider audiences and make subject matter more engaging. On the urban design projects I have led I’ve found visually communicating key concepts, places, data and summary reports through infographics, illustration and graphic design has helped projects succeed through improved communication, collaboration and creative thinking. I now offer these as standalone services for freelance commissions.
Previous clients include: the V&A Dundee (infographics), Living Streets (technical streetscape illustrations), the Edinburgh Futures Institute (corporate vision illustrations), The Stove Network (report graphic design), Edinburgh Living Lab and City of Edinburgh Council (report graphic design, award-winning design and install of public engagement exhibition installations).
As an Urban Designer and Chartered Landscape Architect, my experience of built environment design processes, user research, public space design, leading and facilitating stakeholder engagement and co=design workshops means I have a particularly in-depth understanding and technical background on illustration, sketch note and design commissions with these themes.
Interested in commissioning me for an illustration, infographic, live illustration sketch notes or graphic design work? Please get in touch to say hello and discuss your requirements.
“Jenny really helped us bring our narratives and visions into wonderful illustrations that we can use to co-develop our strategy with our stakeholders. Her approach was full of enthusiasm, curiosity, and consideration of what we were trying to do which led to her illustrations bringing our visions to life.
”
“We are delighted with the work Jenny has produced on the inclusive design of our streets. Her skill in understanding the vision and style we needed and also her patience and persistence in getting the details right meant we were confident in getting the result we needed for the project. Jenny is a pleasure to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
Live Illustration and Sketch Notes / Graphic Recording
I love creating visual sketch notes and find it a really effective way to engage event participants - with more 60% of us visual learners this is a great way to bring meetings, conferences, or other events to life on the day, and leaves you with a visual record you can share in reports, presentations and social media afterwards.
I usually create live illustrations digitally via an iPad, allowing you to show the developing illustration onscreen during online and in-person events as it is drawn. I provide the final illustration as both an image and timelapse video immediately the same day as your event so you can share these straightaway with attendees and via social media.
