Ollie Hirst

Ollie is an award-winning conceptual illustrator/bionic man, translating Science, Health & Tech into vivid human stories. He’s a lifelong cardiac pacemaker patient with Congenital Heart Block. Living with a device in his chest that quite literally keeps him alive has helped shape the way he sees the world. Science, health & tech govern Ollie’s life.

Ollie likes his work to hinge on a strong idea, filtering complex topics into clear concepts that inform, inspire, engage and advocate, helped by a splash of colour. His approach is a bold blueprint. He calls this “Bright Colour & Brighter Ideas”.

Clients include: AstraZeneca, BBC, The British Heart Foundation, Citroën, Harvard Business Review, The Lancet, New Scientist, The New York Times, and TED.
