My story

The Diabetic Survivor diabetes diagnosis 1997

Hello there! I’m a Type 1 visual designer, diagnosed 23 years ago. I’m into pump therapy and currently using Freestyle Libre sensors FGM. Dreaming about looping soon 😀

Why thediabeticsurvivor?

Many, many years ago I had a blog where I posted advice to people with diabetes like me who were looking to travel... (it never became a truly useful blog).

I am an avid internet user, and during this last year I created the Instagram account @thediabeticsurvivor to raise diabetes awareness using design to connect with, raise questions, and empower the diabetes community.

The whole idea behind is very simple: bring some joy and happiness to the diabetes community touching certain aspects of the 'diabetes world'.

Let's work together

I’m a freelance visual designer with over 15 years experience.

Recently, I have developed a wide range of projects working with others as a visual designer with different diabetes related organisations such as Eversense CGM, USA, T1International, UK, Quin diabetes mobile app, UK, Camp Conrad Chinnock - Diabetes Camping, USA, and Beyond Type 1, USA.

I can articulate ideas visually. I’m passionate about the intersection of design and technology and I really enjoy visual culture and creating images.
