    IllustratorUAL's Climate Emergency Network
     - London, United KingdomFreelance
    In this role I illustrated a series of 12 seminars, collaborating with thinkers, speakers, scientists and artists from around the world, creating a powerful network of contemporary creatives. I engaged activism into artistic work, creating a unique artistic language and fundamentally assisting with the publication. I thrived working in a hugely time pressured environment, having to produce numerous artworks over the 3 hour seminars and present them and their relevance at the end to the speakers and participants, and to relate these works on varied subjects to a broader body of work that translated into an engaging digital format.
