I was commisioned by The Alan Turing Institute to create a series of illustrations covering a range of topics around the themes of AI ethics and governance.
The brief was to visualise complex topics like fairness, bias, trust, data security, surveillance, and mental health in AI - concepts that are often abstract and highly technical.
The challenge was making these ideas digestible and accessible while avoiding the usual clichés (robots, digital brains, etc.). I wanted to make the visuals playful and engaging in balance the density and complexity of the ideas
The collaboration developed over several years and spanned editorial pieces, comic strips, infographics, cover artwork, animation, logo design and companion visuals.
The process was highly collaborative, starting with brainstorming ideas in teams or on a 1-1 basis, sketching rough concepts and then refining them into final illustrations.

I have worked with Jonny across multiple projects for several years, and would happily and enthusiastically recommend him to any individual, team or organisation.
His creativity and expertise have been invaluable in our projects related to developing educational materials around topics such as data science, and AI ethics. His ability to convert often complex and abstract concepts into comprehensible illustrations has significantly helped us articulate and deliver our project's goals.
Our team have worked with Jonny through a collaborative, open, and iterative process, which often requires flexibility on his side. He has always been responsive and accommodating of this process, and his willingness to embrace feedback and adapt his creative process was highly commendable.
I have already recommended Jonny to other teams within my organisation, and look forward to working with him again in the future.
