Since October 2023, I have been invovled in three rounds of public consultation events regarding the development of Dogger Bank D wind farm, whose electricity is planned to come on-shore in the East Riding of Yorkshire. As this constitutes a 'Large Infrastructrue Project', it is vital to ensure that the local community is fully consulted and involved in the planning stages.
My role at the events has been to capture feedback on graphic boards, generating interest, sparking conversations, questions, comments and ideas. As a local, it has been fascinating to hear the range of views and to help people articulate these through the graphics.
I am looking forward to the next phase and to being involved as the project goes forward.
"Helen had a great rapport with the project team and the community. She listened sensitively and her drawings encouraged nuanced conversations at all levels and teased out the detail of many important themes. I can highly recommend Helen as the right graphic facilitator for your next event and will be working with her for the future of this project."

The Webinar graphics were created on iPad. I have only recently been brave enough to start digitising my work. I am really pleased with the results I am getting using Adobe Fresco. It's actually hard to tell the difference between the digital graphic and the flexiboards.
