FINAL OUTPUT
“Jonny is an absolute pleasure to work with. He understands briefs instinctively and has an incredible ability to transform even the simplest idea or rough doodle into a compelling sketch that truly sells a concept. He has been a key part of our pitch team, regularly helping us win work, particularly across events and experiential projects. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any team looking to win.”

Visual Story Director
I help translate ideas into visual stories.
For over 25 years I've worked across illustration, storyboarding and visual development, helping agencies, brands and creative teams communicate ideas with clarity. Today, my practice combines traditional drawing, visual storytelling and emerging digital tools to explore how ideas can evolve into compelling visual experiences.
