Often forming the starting point of a project, this work focuses on making sense of complex ideas, frameworks and content — shaping them into clear, coherent structures that can be effectively communicated.

This may include:

• organising and simplifying complex material

• identifying key messages and relationships

• shaping narrative flow across reports or presentations

• preparing content for visual communication

Design of clear, structured visuals that explain systems, processes and abstract concepts — supporting understanding across audiences.

Typical outputs include:

• framework diagrams and visual models

• process maps and system visualisations

• conceptual diagrams and explanatory visuals

• standalone visuals for reports and presentations

Development of clear, compelling visual communication across outputs including reports, presentations and publications — ensuring content is communicated with clarity, consistency and impact.

Typical outputs include:

• reports and publications

• presentation decks

• summary documents

• communication toolkits and visual assets

Working with existing data to develop clear, engaging visual communication that supports understanding and insight.

Typical outputs include:

• infographics

• charts and graph redesign

• data-led visuals for reports and presentations

• integration of data into broader communication materials

Workshops and lectures that build visual literacy and strengthen the ability to communicate complex ideas and data effectively. Sessions provide a structured approach to visual communication, with practical guidance tailored to research teams, academic departments and organisations.

Formats include:

• team workshops

• guest lectures

• tailored training sessions for organisations
