Bringing Data to Life with Playful, Hand-Drawn Visuals

Creative Data Visualisation Workshops

Break free from software defaults and discover fresh ways to visualise data. My hands-on workshops get your team away from screens and into creative problem-solving with pens and paper.
In 90 minutes, your team will explore chart types they've never considered, learn when to use (and not use) different visualisations, and walk away with a framework they can apply to every project.
Perfect for data teams, analysts, and anyone who presents information visually. Available remotely or in-person.

Live Event Illustration

Capture your event's key moments in real-time with hand-drawn illustrations that attendees will actually want to share.
I draw live during presentations, panel discussions, or keynotes - turning spoken insights into visual summaries as they happen. You get high-resolution files delivered within 30 minutes of your session finishing, ready for social media.
Your speakers get visual validation of their ideas. Your attendees get memorable takeaways. And you get shareable content that extends your event's reach.
Available for in-person and virtual events. One illustration per speaker or session.

Audience Activations

Turn passive attendees into active participants with interactive data experiences they'll remember.
From hand-made data badges that spark conversations to collaborative sticker charts that build real-time databases, audience activations create multiple ways for people to engage with your event.
Perfect for conferences, team gatherings, and networking events where you want people connecting with each other - not just watching from their seats.
Custom-designed for your event's theme and goals. Attendees get unique takeaways, you get genuine engagement.

Why work with me?

When you work with me, you're not just getting a data visualisation - you're getting an experience. Each service is designed to engage, inspire, and bring people together through the power of data.

From playful, hand-drawn visuals to live event illustrations, I turn complex information into approachable, memorable stories that spark conversations. My goal is to create visuals that go beyond aesthetics, leaving audiences with meaningful insights, shared connections, and moments that linger long after the event ends.

Whether you're looking to boost team morale, enhance networking, or capture the essence of a live event, I deliver data storytelling with heart, creativity, and a personal touch.

“The data-themed name badges worked really well and were a good conversation starter 😎. We're going to use them at our next Meet & Greet.”

Global Head of Recruitment, The Data School
“Our Data Science team at Preqin participated in Sophie’s Drawing with Data course, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The session was engaging, enjoyable, and incredibly helpful for stepping away from the technical aspects of working in data, focussing more on refining our ideas from ground principles. We highly recommend this course to any team working with data. Thank you, Sophie!"

"Sophie made live data drawings of all the speakers during the event. She not only made a sketch of the faces of the speakers, but added some fun data points on their clothes or hair as well." Attendees and speakers were really surprised (and super pleased) with the end result. If you want a super fun and different approach to your event, definitely consider Sophie!.”

“Sophie led an activation at our reception, creating personalised badges for our DataFam community. Her unique blend of creativity and passion for data made her the perfect fit for our event, and she exceeded all expectations. I’d highly recommend Sophie for any similar events. She’s a dream to work with, and her creativity, coupled with her understanding of the client’s needs, makes her an invaluable asset to any team.”
