Ollie Hirst

Ollie is an award-winning Conceptual Illustrator/bionic man, based in Manchester, UK. Translating science, health & tech into vivid human stories.

Illustration makes him tick. Though it’s not the only thing that does. He’s a lifelong cardiac pacemaker patient. So, whilst he puts his heart into drawing, it gets help most of the time. Ollie has a natural affinity to science, tech, health and the human experience and likes his work to hinge on a strong idea, diluting complex topics into digestible visual concepts, helped by a splash of colour.

Clients include: AstraZeneca, BBC Science Focus Magazine, Boehringer Ingelheim, The British Heart Foundation, Citroën, Genomics England, Harvard Business Review, The Lancet, New Scientist, The New York Times and TED.
