The Christie
As a Creative at Music, I served as the lead designer for The Christie, a specialist cancer hospital in Manchester. I acted as the primary design contact for their marketing team, collaborating closely with the account manager on upcoming and ongoing projects. My work spanned the full breadth of The Christie brand, including designing assets for print and digital fundraising campaigns, producing patient brochures and leaflets, and advising the in-house design team on brand application.
I led the creative direction and installation of the internal graphics for the Proton Beam Therapy Centre, a pioneering cancer treatment facility. Working hand-in-hand with clinical staff and facilities teams, I developed and pitched the graphic concept—a “jungle journey” designed to comfort and distract young patients and their families as they moved from waiting areas through treatment rooms to the ward.
To bring the concept to life, I commissioned local illustrator Jane Bowyer and collaborated closely with her and The Christie to ensure all artwork met clinical requirements and installation timelines. The final installation was praised by staff, patients, and families, and received recognition from multiple award bodies and design publications, becoming a standout project for the agency.
