Local Air Ambulance service delivers lifesaving care at the scene of an incident, serving five counties. Children’s Air Ambulance transfers critically ill babies and children, from one hospital to another for specialist care. Working with all departments: Operations, Retail, Fundraising, Re-use and Volunteering design requests were print and digital, these developed the brands corporate identity.

Producing visual marketing materials. I designed work for all aspects of the hospice - retail, events, corporate, volunteering, community, lottery, clinical, catering, learning and development. The main focus was to raise awareness of Myton, to increase income, to allow treatment for patients earlier on in their illness. Working closely with the Marketing Manager we developed Myton’s marketing from Admission packs to website visuals. Myton needs to raise £7.8 million a year to provide clinical services free of charge. 25 shops and an annual calendar of events meant time management was crucial.
