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.

With over 40 years of experience in the performing arts industry, I work as a theatre consultant, offering tailored solutions in the fields of interim management, artistic programming, leadership and team development, business planning and delivery, and project management. In 2024, I completed a five-year contract at Reliance Industries Limited, where I leveraged my expertise in performing arts development and management to support one of India’s largest corporations in the further operation and growth of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre.

I am a Free Lance Artist Educator who is passionate about creating safe inclusive spaces that nurture people’s creativity.  I started Home Ed Creatives 4 years ago – LIVE Online Group Art Classes for Home Educated children from the UK and abroad. I have since stared running in person sessions in various settings (Museums, Sports Centres and Community Centres)  for participants of a variety of ages and abilities. I have a personal creative practice, working mainly in watercolours.  I also have a small business selling cards and products  with my Art work on them.
