What clients say

The genetic impacts of population decline

Mair did an excellent job condensing the scientific narrative of my research project into a short, engaging animation that is easily digestible for any audience.
The animation has been an invaluable tool as both an intro to my academic presentations and also for our public engagement efforts; it has already been well-received in international presentations in Norway, with further plans to share it with local Welsh schools. I am thrilled with the final result

Illustrated 10 year timeline for East Midlands Trains

Mair did a fantastic job of illustrating a 10 year timeline of East Midlands Trains history for our annual Management Conference. Even from the initial scoping meeting, she asked all of the right questions and covered everything in great detail to make the illustration as accurate and 'true to life' as possible. Mair regularly kept me updated on progress and produced the final artwork within plenty of time of the event. We've received so many compliments on this piece of work; I would most definitely recommend Mair for illustrative services and I'm looking forward to working with her again in future.
