Bespoke Illustrated Visual Summaries

I help companies communicate ideas by translating information into engaging visual summaries. From reports, complex research, meeting minutes and more, I can turn your information into accessible graphics that are easy to understand and share through a combination of hand-drawn imagery, words and diagrams.

What is a visual summary?

Visual summaries are illustrated notes that synthesise information into pictorial form. The resulting summary combines text and image and helps make information more accessible, memorable and easy to share.

As an information artist, I can help create a visual record or summary from your information. This could be a company report, forecast, business plan, values, minutes and more. This is slightly different to my work as a live illustrator where I attend your event and capture notes live. With information summaries I can do this at anytime. You maye not have had an event at all but you still need a pictorial summary. All you have to do is send me the information and a little about what you’d like to convey and I’ll create it for you.

Before becoming an illustrator, I worked as a design engineer for Dyson and in the Med Tech industry. I know how challenging it can be to communicate complex information clearly. Whether it's a lengthy research report, a strategic plan or a collection of ideas, sometimes the most important messages can get lost in pages and pages of text.

That's where visual summaries come in!

As a visual summary illustrator, I take your existing information and transform it into colourful, engaging illustrations that combine words, images and diagrams to tell a story.

You might have a research paper you'd like to share with a wider audience, a report that needs to be more accessible, or a complicated process that would benefit from being explained visually. I'll work through your content, identify the key themes and messages, and bring them together into a bespoke illustrated summary.

Think about the information we encounter every day in museums, hospitals, train stations and public spaces. Are you more likely to read a huge block of text, or stop to explore an illustration that breaks information down into digestible, bite-sized pieces?

A good visual summary makes information easier to understand, remember and share.

My illustrations aren't simply about making information look pretty. They're about helping people engage with ideas, understand the bigger picture and make connections they might otherwise miss.

Your finished visual summary can be used in reports, presentations, newsletters, websites, social media or printed as a poster, helping your information reach more people in a way that's both useful and enjoyable to explore.

And because I'm a real person rather than an automated summarising tool, we can have conversations about what's important, who your audience is and what you really want them to take away. I'll use my experience in both technical communication and illustration to make sure your message comes across clearly.

How do you make visual summaries?

It starts with a brief

I’ll schedule a Zoom call. We can cover your goals, aims and what you’d like to achieve with the finished artwork. I love to hear your ideas and make some notes. We can discuss your brand colours and what format

The information

The next step is all about the information. Send me as much information as possible. I’ll read, research, analyse and synthesise this into themes to create the visual summary. I can send you a draft before committing to the final design so you can input feedback at this stage.

Finished!

Once the artwork is created, I’ll send it over in the format you require. I always include a round of edits if you need any final tweaks! Some clients want a single image for reports, some prefer multiple images or formats for sharing such as postcards etc.

I'd love to help you translate your ideas and information into a colourful visual summary. Get in touch and tell me a little about your ideas. I'll be happy to put together a quote for you.

As well as creating visual summaries of pre-existing infromation, I can also attend events and capture visual summaries LIVE! This is known as live illustration, or visual note-taking.
