We offer visual design services & training to social movements.

We support organisers to tell complex stories in accessible visual formats.

Together, we make change feel more possible to a wider public.

Design Services

Visual Organising

Visual Organising is how we describe drawing for organisers.

We take sketch notes at meetings, conferences, protests and social gatherings, which we then turn into compelling visuals, illustrations, reports and infographics.

We also co-create graphics, portraits, visual identities and illustrations to support organisers and social movements.

Graphic Design

We design online/print visual materials needed for movement building and radical communications in our hand-drawn, joyful & warm style.

This can include: Publications, workbooks, toolkits and other shared documents as well as stickers, posters, social media cards, badges, maps, timelines, reports, invitations.  See some of our past projects here.

Our design services are co-delivered and we aim to implement the Design Justice principles in all our processes.

Design Training

We facilitate design training programmes for organisers and culture workers to share our Visual Organising skills.

We run 2 public training days every year - sign up to our substack below to hear about upcoming dates!

We also offer on-demand training for people who want to use drawing and design to:

  • Support resilience and reflection

  • Build community organising

  • Share, witness and document in an accessible way

We have offered bespoke Visual Organising training to Women Asylum Seekers Together (WAST), Gaada, Abolish Detention and Queen Mary University.

In 2023, we also trained up a cohort of 35 migrant organisers through a six week course. You can read up on this journey, our exercises and resources here.

Throughout 2022, we ran Paperwork, a free riso printing programme in collaboration with Rabbits Road Press.
