DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY & EDUCATION
Design that helps good ideas reach people.
From branding and websites to print, packaging and marketing, I help community organisations, education providers and purpose-led businesses communicate what they do and connect with the people they are here to help.
I've worked with organisations across community development, education, housing, environmental initiatives and social causes, creating design that makes information easier to understand while giving each organisation a clear and consistent visual presence.
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOUR INDUSTRY
Good work deserves to be understood.
Community and education organisations often have a lot to communicate. There can be different audiences to consider, important information to share and plenty of detail that needs to be easy to find.
Good design can help make all of that feel more approachable.
I focus on creating clear, accessible design that helps people understand what you do, why it matters and how they can get involved. That might mean simplifying the structure of a website, developing a visual identity for a new initiative or creating supporting materials for an event, programme or campaign.
I've worked with organisations at different stages, from established community groups to new initiatives getting off the ground. I enjoy finding the right balance between communicating the practical information and capturing the purpose behind the work.
Creating a visual identity that reflects your organisation, communicates its purpose and gives you a consistent foundation for your communications.
Clear, accessible websites that organise information thoughtfully and make it easy for your audience to find what they need.
From brochures and reports to event collateral, posters, presentations and campaign material, creating practical design that helps get your message out.
Supporting your ongoing communication with social media graphics, EDMs, campaigns and other branded content.
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
Your organisation communicates in many ways.
our website is often the central place people go for information, but it isn't the only place your organisation shows up.
It might be through social media, printed resources, event material, presentations, newsletters, signage or campaign graphics.
I can help bring those different pieces together so your organisation has a clear and consistent visual presence, making it easier for people to recognise you, understand your message and engage with what you do.
SELECTED WORK
Projects with purpose.
Here's a selection of community, education and purpose-led organisations I've worked with, covering everything from housing and environmental initiatives to education and inclusive community events.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED
Things I'm often asked
Can you help if we have a lot of information to communicate?
Absolutely. Working out how information is structured and presented is an important part of website design. I'll help organise the content so people can find what they need without feeling overwhelmed.
How do we make our organisation feel approachable online?
Clear language, thoughtful design and good imagery can make a big difference. The goal isn't to make everything overly polished — it's to create a website and visual identity that feels welcoming and reflects the people behind the organisation.
Can you help us develop a brand for a new initiative?
Yes. We can develop the visual identity from the ground up, giving your initiative a recognisable look that can then be used across your website, social media, print and other communications.
We already have a logo. Can you work with it?
Definitely. A new website doesn't always mean you need a new brand. I can work with your existing identity and look at how the wider visual language, layout and communications can be improved.
Can you help us communicate with different audiences?
Yes. We'll look at who needs to use the website or communications and make sure the structure and content work for those different audiences. The aim is to make things as clear and intuitive as possible.
Can you design material for events and campaigns?
Yes. Alongside websites and branding, I can create posters, brochures, presentations, social media graphics, event material and other campaign collateral.
Can you work with organisations that have limited marketing resources?
Absolutely. We can prioritise what will make the biggest difference and create a practical set of design assets that you can use and build on over time.
Can you help with ongoing communications?
Yes. I can provide ongoing creative support with social media, email marketing, campaigns, print and other communications as your organisation's needs evolve.
