Kirsten is a visual designer with over 15 years’ experience creating impactful visual content for social change. Throughout her career, she has prioritised projects where design can meaningfully contribute to communication, education, and empowerment.
Her work spans branding , motion graphics, and video production, with a strong focus on causes that matter — from refugee rights and environmental justice to humanitarian advocacy. She has partnered with organisations including Greenpeace, the International Rescue Committee, War on Want, Tax Justice UK, and Amnesty International, creating engaging content that distils complex issues into accessible, emotionally resonant formats that helps organisations to tell compelling stories.
Kirsten works closely with strategists, researchers, and policy and advocacy experts to translate complex ideas into clear, engaging, and accessible narratives. While much of this work involves animation and motion graphics, her multidisciplinary practice spans digital, print, and illustration. She has created animations visualising the intricacies of environmental trade treaties, reports illustrating the impacts of the fast fashion industry, and animated toolkits supporting teachers in addressing misogyny in schools.
When she isn’t working, Kirsten can often be found exploring the Scottish countryside — climbing mountains, bikepacking, or swimming in lochs before heading to the sauna — or in her printmaking studio, where she is usually covered in paint.
