Happy Clients

Dr Ally Jaffee, NHS Doctor & Trainee Psychiatrist, Youth Mental Health Charity Trustee
”Myself and my fellow Chimo Trust Trustees hired Esther to do the live illustration minutes for our Inaugural Youth Mental Health Summit. Esther is immensely talented and executed the task brilliantly and we were so pleased with the final product. Her disposition was great, she was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her work!”

John Beadle, Global Head of Performance and Reward, ABB
"Esther provided an outstanding, vivid tapestry of our HR conference and described the key moments in a much more engaging way than a multi-page PowerPoint could ever do."

Claire Palmer, Master Certified Coach
”I loved working with Esther to map out my vision for the coming year. I'd seen her recommended by a fellow coach & intuitively I just felt 'yes that was for me' And it was. I actively encourage my clients to create vision boards yet there is something fabulously useful & impactful about Esther guiding you & her creatively drawing as we go, producing a wonderful visual of your vision & plan. She asks the questions to get you clear & so skilfully draws out the key parts, converting them into wonderful visual images - what a skill. My year plan is now up on a wall in my office. I see it everyday, it reminds me of what's key. I love it! I highly recommend Esther. Highly professional & so easy to work with.“

Spring Forward 1-2-1 Workshop
Katy, Pathway Workshop client
“Esther’s friendly approach immediately put me at ease and I felt comfortable chatting to her about my plans and ideas for the future. Under Esther’s gentle guidance, I was able to focus on what was important to me. She helped me to identify my personal and professional goals over the next three years, before we broke them down together into clear, manageable steps.
Watching Esther sketch as we spoke was both helpful and inspiring. And I now have a personalised, hand-illustrated plan on my office wall as a beautiful visual reminder of all my personal and work goals—and how I will achieve them.“

Pathway Workshops
Anna, Build Your Year client
“There’s power in pictures. This is something I discovered today in a 2024 visioning session with live illustrator Esther Springett.
Esther helped me to map out my vision for the year, coaching me through the process and - amazingly – simultaneously drawing what I was saying so that I was left with a beautiful visualisation of the conversation.
I’m excited about these plans becoming a reality in 2024, and I really recommend working with Esther if you’d like to map out your own vision.”

Build Your Year 1-2-1 Workshop
Susan Potter Associates, Evaluation and Research Consultancy
“Esther is a highly talented artist and graphic facilitator. We have worked together on many occasions now, with Esther creating her unique digital illustrations in real-time during meetings and discussion groups. Her infographics provide accessible visual documentation of evaluation activities with a lively illustration style. With her lived experience, Esther understands the systems of support within the sectors of arts, health, heritage and social care. Esther is a kind and generous spirited consultant, while her work is always of the utmost quality.”

Live Illustration
Bethany Roots, Channel Marketing Manager, RingCentral
“Esther created equally stunning and insightful visuals during a large company meeting with a range of participants. She captured the themes, hosts, and outcomes in her drawings in excellent detail. Esther is wonderful to work with and we would not hesitate to book her again!”
