Illustrations for important, hard-to-explain topics.
Illustration
We transform hard-to-explain documents, reports, and strategies into clear illustrations. And, Sam has a special knack for creating abstract diagrams that you can’t make with powerpoint – so they’re beautiful and useful. Our illustrations are created with edits based on your feedback. Be located anywhere.
Ensure we get it right

We’ll collaborate and send drafts, to make sure we draw exactly what you need. Be located anywhere.
Choose from a range of styles, from hand-drawn to highly polished graphics that fit your brand standards.
You can provide the text, or we can facilitate conversations to refine the messages.
We’re experienced in working on engagement and outreach projects, especially with equity-deserving communities, people with lived/living experience, and communities.
Not your ‘usual’ illustrations
We make illustrations for not-so-usual topics, and for formats that are hard to explain.
Types of illustrations include:
- Research findings
- Knowledge mobilization
- Visual strategic plans
- Models, diagrams, system maps
- Theory of Change
- Science communication
- Journey Mapping (patients, clients, members)
- Visual reports/ summaries / evaluation
- Curriculum / small illustrations


We love a deep dive topic. Recent collaborations include visualizing:
- Intake process for a community legal centre
- Promoting rural Personal Health Records
- Visual strategic plan for a university faculty
- Curriculum to prevent camel-human disease transmission (they sleep standing up!)
- Model for Restorative Healthcare
- Fisheries Resources Reconciliation Agreement, and more.
Translations: absolutely. You provide the text – we’ve created bilingual illustrations in French, Spanish, Inuktitut, Greenlandic, and more!
