Annelies James

I am a children’s playwright, poet and community creative writing facilitator. With fifteen years experience working in the sector, I have had multiple plays for primary school age children to perform published and have had works for children and families commissioned from theatres and arts organisations. My playwrighting focus is on inclusive history that is curriculum-adjacent or locally relevant and I’m particularly passionate about amplifying the stories of marginalised women and girls from the past. I work with schools and in the community delivering a range of bespoke workshops to young people, families and to those living with dementia and their carers.

Hello I’m Emma and I’m a Graphic Recorder and Illustrator. I create hand drawn visuals to capture content and tell stories – it’s my job to visualise your content so people love it, remember it, and keep coming back to it. As a Graphic Recorder I draw live at events and meetings to capture the key ideas and outcomes. As an Illustrator I create hand drawn digital images to tell stories and explain complex information. My work is, colourful, fun and creative. It starts conversations and helps connect ideas and people. It’s mind-catching and memorable. It’s eye-catching, printable and easily shareable.
