Report Design
Get your research in front of a wider audience with the help of great design.
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?
Why trust me?
I already speak your language: I've spent 25 years in design, and over 15 of them working with purpose-driven organisations.
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.

Report Design +
Need a little extra support? You can add any of the following to your project.
-
Sometimes, complex stakeholder approval processes are required, which can lead to multiple (costly) rounds of amends. Unlimited revisions (until the agreed sign-off date) offers perfection without the pressure!
-
Image research and supply of the high-resolution files from selected stock image libraries.
-
Looking to print your report and share it digitally? No problem. Both require to be set up differently, so knowing in advance is necessary.
-
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.
-
Through my network, I can also support with the following services -
• Copywriting
• Editing and proofreading
• Photography
• Video production
One project. One point of contact. Less stress all round.
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 Report Design package, we grab attention, influence change, and drive real impact.
It’s not just about ‘inform’. Today, we transform.
HAPPY CLIENTS

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, but I work with extremely talented and experienced copywriters, editors and proofreaders, so we can engage their services if required.
-
Two rounds are included as standard, or an unlimited revisions package can be added for an additional £350 (+VAT).

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!
