Graphic Facilitation for The Railway Children - Launch 8th December at Aviva, London


Over the summer I worked for The Railway Children, recording a research project into the different journeys that young people make when they run away. 

The launch of the research project took place today on the top floor of Aviva insurance, a major supporter of the charity. Newsreader Jon Snow was also there and he gave a short presentation as Chair of New Horizon Youth Centre who worked in partnership with The Railway Children on this project.

It all felt quite exciting, and wow, what a view!


The two main journeys were circular and linear. More information can be found here:

My images were used throughout to illustrate the research project publication, here is a sample:





Thanks to Jane Thompson for hiring me and the young people from New Horizons Youth Centre for their hard work and commitment.

Permanent Visual Minutes


This last week I've really had a lot of fun, working in a new 'innovation space' within a company, to inspire and encourage employees to think creatively and to enable problem solving. 

The room has been launched as a space to cross pollinate ideas, with the aim of making the business more agile. 

I recorded people's thoughts and ideas, and then was asked to draw them on the blinds of the innovation room, as a lasting memory of the launch.
