About
I am a visual storyteller!
As a freelance illustrator for 20 years, I strongly believe that images help process information and give us a way to feel connected to others.
Through my illustrations I can help you teach practical skills to tackle many different symptoms and issues.
I can deliver your ideas and information in clear and accessible designs and create visual narratives that engage your patients and audiences.

I have developed an illustration niche in which I work closely with psychology departments, mental health and wellbeing professionals, and not for profit organisations to create online treatment and prevention programs for anxiety and depressive disorders. My illustrated modules are developed to a script or story written by psychologists and other health professionals. My clients include St Vincent’s Hospital, the University of New South Wales and Sydney University.
These programs have been proven to be effective in significantly reducing the burden of anxiety and depressive disorders. In general, each program consists of 3 to 10 lessons that contain 40-60 click through slides, depending on the volume of content that needs to be delivered.
I offer to create 100% of your visual content, including;
- Character creation
- Scenes
- Create all visuals that enhance storytelling to engage viewer/patient
- Translate script into click through illustrations
I am also a professional artist and have exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne. I have found my visual art skills to be extremely beneficial in my illustration work.
