In January 2026 I was approached to design the anchor illustration for a new campaign called A Ride for Life — a public engagement project encouraging people to care about the natural world for their own health and wellbeing, and as part of the fight against climate change.

The brief called for a single illustration incorporating at least 20 key species across sky, land and sea, people enjoying the natural environment, and the campaign title, all legible at a printed size of 36 x 25cm, as it was going to be mounted on the client’s bike as he rode around the North York Moors National Park…

When photographer and web designer Sarah Jamieson got in touch about creating a bespoke illustrated map to anchor the new website that she was designing for the Berwick Riders Association to help tell its story visually, I knew it would be a special project — one that celebrated not just geography, but heritage and community spirit.

In 2024 I was commissioned by Anne Mair-Chapman to design a Welcome Board for her business, Kypie Farm. The goal was to create a custom illustrated welcome board featuring a hand-drawn map of the farm, complete with waymarked walking routes and relevant information for farm visitors (the farm encourages educational visits from schools and also has a number of Open Farm days through the year).
