Robin Moore,
Head of Research at HMI Probation
"Working with Julia on visuals to support the work of HM Inspectorate of Probation was an absolute joy. She understood our work and our needs so quickly, and was so responsive to all our requests. It was the first time that I have worked with a visual illustrator, and it was not only a great learning experience seeing the visuals develop, but also highly enjoyable thanks to Julia's friendly, positive, engaging, and collaborative approach. The final illustrations have been incredibly well received both internally and externally, which is a real testament to Julia's work - I have no doubt that we will be using them for many years to come. A big thank you Julia!"
Persis Ramirez,
Programme Officer,
International Water Association
"Julia is an exceptional visual artist whom I had the pleasure of engaging during the coordination and development of an international event. Julia's creative brilliance and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout our project, as she effortlessly translated complex sanitation concepts into visually stunning representations that amplified the impact of our event. Not only did her work captivate the audience, but it also effectively conveyed the essence of the information presented. Julia's professionalism and collaborative approach made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Her unique blend of creativity and reliability makes her an invaluable asset to any project."
Chris Morley,
Chief Nurse at NHS
“Your presence and your artwork added a unique and inspiring dimension to the event, capturing the essence of the day in a truly remarkable way. The feedback we have received from conference attendees has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you for sharing your talents with us and for helping to make our conference a memorable and impactful event.”
