A printmaking workshop with teenage users of my client Victim Support, produced startling results. Once incorporated into the “Kirklees Young People’s Project” final report, the prints and paintings produced by the young people reflected so directly and disturbingly the content of the report. The final document is far more engaging, honest and visually stimulating, than if I had used photos downloaded from a photo library.

Design by engagement is a unique approach that draws on my previous experience as an artist and offers the client a very exciting process and product.
