Animated explainer videos

Explainer animations simplify complex concepts into easily digestible visual content. These videos are perfect for educational content or training videos, especially if you’ve got sensitive content and would rather avoid the use of video.

About Vicky Hughes

Based in Yorkshire, I have a diverse background that has helped build my approach to illustration. My career journey includes experience as a civil servant in Westminster and roles in startups in Shoreditch. With my history as a data analyst, I love to bring a keen eye for detail, logic, and thorough research to every project. I’ve also studied illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. This career journey has led me to build a love for the power of information-based illustration!
