At Sunpatch Creative, I created 12 illustrations and laid out Soil Heroes’ Regenerative Agriculture Guidebook, bringing soil health knowledge to the public through a finished publication downloaded internationally.

I also built reusable layouts for Henosis publications and coached a regenerative food enterprise in Zambia through brand strategy for its farmer education programme.

Previously, at Twona, I managed a team delivering pharmaceutical artwork and print production, and built InDesign templates and documented systems to keep files accurate and consistent. At Frontiers, I worked with researchers and editorial boards on nutrition and food science article collections, and translated complex research for non-specialist audiences.
