The whole point of learning is to grow minds, develop skills and encourage exploration and experimentation. That is where innovation and creativity lies… and we’re stuck in a rut doing it all wrong!

(rant over…read on for how I can help fix this)

I specialise in creating the design and concepts for informational and educational products, including books, games, toolkits, infographics, learning resources and online learning.

And not just your typical products - I use a lot of experimentation and upside-down thinking to ensure they are steeped in storytelling, creative thinking, immersion and positive mindset development. I’m not afraid to unleash the the sewing machine (see video right) and my inner craft addict, and I love adding puns, humour, and wit too if that’s your thing.

After years of working in education from primary to adult (and even in a prison), and then nearly a decade in the eLearning industry, I combined my knowledge of learning theory with design skills and creativity brain to carve out something of a niche for myself.

Handmade ‘Rewilding tree’ made for Be The Future workshops. To help primary-aged children learn about rewilding through building the tree and adding a range of Australian wildlife as part of a larger workshop.

All made from third-hand and reclaimed materials.

Some of my learning clients & partnerships

Working with Helen has been one of the easiest things I have done over the last 6 months. Helen brought a wealth of knowledge, style and enthusiasm to her designs, she helped us go from zero eLearning to building a portfolio of engaging and appealing modules... Helen helped us implement standards, create templates and training materials, nothing seemed to daunt her! With patience of saint and such a friendly approach, the whole experience of working with Helen has been one I couldn’t recommend highly enough!

I will take your glimmering but wonky gem of an idea and turn it into something wonderful in the following areas:

∙ wellness & wellbeing
∙ mental & physical health
∙ health & social care
∙ personal & professional development
∙ environment & sustainability
∙ life sciences, medical industries & research

I believe it is our responsibility to create resources that help and educate people whilst having some fun, developing connections and improving mindset.

We are extremely impressed with Helen's ability to interpret our product, customer messages, and environment into effective communication collateral
