Report Design

Get your research in front of a wider audience with the help of great design.

I need this

You’ve been staring at the same research and data for weeks (if not months)

You (and your team) have worked hard on this latest project.

And the results are powerful.

Your research can make lives better and inspire real change. If only you could get in front of the right people and prove it. 

That’s where your report design comes in, but -

  • You have no idea how to turn raw data into a powerful story that people will want to be part of

  • Politicians, journalists and PR execs are sent hundreds of reports every day; you need yours to stop them in their tracks

  • Nobody internally has the skills and vision to take the findings and turn them into something worth shouting about

So you go back to tweaking the text, waiting for inspiration to strike. 

THE TRUTH IS, YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO WASTE

Every day that goes by is a missed opportunity…

Fresh eyes change everything

Working so close to your research - you can't see the story that'll make others care.

You know every statistic, every methodology, every nuance. But the policymaker scanning their morning briefings? The journalist with thirty reports to review? The funder deciding between ten different proposals?

They need to understand why your research matters in about 30 seconds.

That's where brilliant Report Design comes in. I take your months of expertise and transform it into something that makes people stop scrolling and start caring.

  • Captivate stakeholders from the first page

  • Be featured in major media outlets and policy discussions

  • Witness your work directly influencing positive change in the world?

  • Be honest, it would feel so much more than ‘amazing’, right?

Get in touch

  • I already speak your language: No weeks spent getting up to speed on your sector. I've been designing for purpose-driven organisations for over 15 years.

  • More than a Canva job: You get proven frameworks, refined across hundreds of reports. Plus fresh eyes to spot the compelling story you're too close to see.

  • Pride: Go from "I really hope the right people read this" to "yes, this is what our work deserved."

  • Confidence: Your research holds its own in front of MPs, funders and journalists.

  • Trust and ease: No chasing, no micromanaging. You focus on the research and campaigning. I'll handle the rest.

Hi, I’m Katie

And I turn research and data into attention-grabbing reports that inspire action.

With 25 years of experience – from the competitive world of newspapers to creating over 100 outstanding reports for the food and sustainability sector – I know how to make your research stand out.

I don’t like to name-drop (but I will…)

I’ve helped bring to life high-profile campaigns like ‘Children’s Right to Food’ (endorsed by actor, Emma Thompson) and was part of the team in Henry Dimbleby’s ‘National Food Strategy’ to name just a couple.

You aim to get your work into the world and impact actual change.

And my aim? To amplify your message so you can do just that.

My work goes way beyond ‘nice designs’. With the Attention Seeker package, we grab attention, influence change and drive real impact.

It’s not just about ‘inform’. Today, we transform.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Allow four to six weeks from start to finish - or quicker depending on the complexity of the project and speed of feedback.

  • I use Adobe InDesign for creating the reports and Photoshop and Illustrator for images and graphics, so unless you have access to these applications, then I’m afraid not. Adobe Acrobat has features which allow you to make changes to PDFs, but again, this is quite specialised.

  • Words are not my zone of genius - they require an expert eye. I work with extremely talented and experienced copywriters, editors and proofreaders, so we can engage their services if required.

  • With the Signature package, unlimited amends are included in the price (until the agreed artwork sign-off date).

    For the Swift package, two rounds are included as standard, or an unlimited revisions option can be added for an additional £350 (+VAT).

  • Yes! Whether you require a speedy, cost-effective online service or if sustainability credentials are paramount, I have options for both, and others in between, too.  I’ll obtain quotes, send artwork and organise delivery to your preferred address. This service is included in the Signature package or is available for an additional £125 (+VAT) with the Swift package.

  • Yes I do - I just really love layout design! But if you’re after items for a launch event, for example, I can do these too - things like: pop-up banners, holding slides, lectern boards, menus, programmes, stickers… the list is endless!
