Live Work
I offer live illustration (also known as scribing or graphic recording) for academia, the charity sector, and for businesses with moral compasses.
I combine digital and hand-made elements that I scan and collage on my iPad in real time.
Clients value that my style is abstract and able to grasp complex ideas.
My gender-less drawing style is unique, inclusive, and memorable. I emphasise movement by avoiding faces or identifiable traits, allowing everyone to see themselves in my artwork.
I offer digital or analogue graphic recording, remote and in-person.
I’m based in Bristol, UK and am happy to travel to your event.

“
It has been great to work with Rosa. It was an innovative project with lots of moving cogs and Rosa was able to grasp what was needed and was able to produce thoughtful, coherent, and accessible drawings that have really supported the dissemination of the research findings. An absolute pro!”
– Nakita Singh, University of Bristol
“Rosa was an integral part of our event — her careful listening, deep engagement and distinctive and instinctive art practice brought the complexity of our discussions to life”

Is your live illustration accessible?
Yes! I believe live illustration is best tool to simplify complex ideas in real time.
I use legible hand-written text and implement accessible colour combinations.
What’s the process?
I will schedule a 30-minute call to discuss the timeline, project scope, goals, outputs (e.g. PDF, social media graphics, canvas), key themes, brand colours, and any other details.
After the call, I’ll send a proposal including the brief, timeline, outputs, revisions, usage rights, and costs, along with a contract for you to sign.
Once you approve, I’ll request any additional information needed (e.g., agenda, relevant research papers).
How much does it cost?
Every job is bespoke (depending on the size, materials, location, time).
Prices start from £300 for one hour, with £150 per hour thereafter.
My event is online, how will that work?
I will join the video call and share my live illustration from my device.
You can decide whether to highlight the drawing process (and have the participants see the sketching in real-time) - or I can be part of the call with the camera off and share the image afterwards.
If you would like a different set-up, I’m happy to discuss.
Do you supply your own materials?
Yes, I do. I mostly use my iPad to connect to your projector via Airplay.
Are you going to show up on time?
As a professional illustrator, I value my clients' time and needs. I work to deadlines and maintain clear communication throughout the process.
I'm also adaptable to changes and available to travel on short notice.
Do you do weddings?
No.
What about divorce ceremonies?
I might consider that.
