Illustration

With a background in technical illustration, I have a strong passion for creating clear, detailed visuals that communicate complex information with ease. My work spans instructional, isometric, perspective, cut-away, and product illustrations—ideal for showcasing how a product works, its internal components, or step-by-step usage, all without the need for lengthy or potentially confusing multilingual descriptions.

WIllustration can be a powerful tool for simplifying processes and improving user understanding, especially in instructional and technical contexts. In many cases, depending on the project's needs and level of complexity, commissioning a custom illustration can also be a more cost-effective alternative to developing a 3D model.

Whether it's for manuals, marketing materials, or product packaging, I can deliver accurate and engaging illustrations that help your audience connect with your product quickly and confidently.

Instructional Illustrations

It is often easier to communicate using illustrations to demonstrate product instructions, parts and processes in a clear and effective manner. Illustration can be a concise and simple way to inform the end-user without multi-lingual and sometimes ambiguous written descriptions.

Isometric Illustrations

I produce detailed, accurate isometric illustrations from engineering plans and schematics. Depending on their purpose it can be more cost-effective to illustrate very complex machinery rather than create highly detailed 3D models. The production line illustrations below were produced for large format annotated factory tour boards and brochures TechnipFMC, Newcastle demonstrating plant machinery at various stages of undersea cable production.

Photo Realistic Illustrations

I've been using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop since 1992 and I'm proficient in photo enhancement and retouching and producing photo-realistic illustrations primarily for print.

House Plans & Site Maps

Over the years I have produced a large number of property development site maps and house plans for groups including Bellway, Persimmon and private developers such as Wynyard.
