For the past few years I’ve been creating storyboards for the charity OSCAR Birmingham, helping them visualise the struggles and triumphs of their users, people of all ages in Birmingham who suffer from Sickle Cell Anemia or Thalassemia. Check out OSCAR Birmingham here- OSCAR Birmingham – Home


I can’t state enough how enlightening and inspiring it has been as I’ve talked to the young people who’ve missed out on so much as they’ve grown up and gone through such pain too.

I thought I would show you all various A1 visual storyboards I’ve created for OSCAR, including the most recent which is based on a zoom call I had with the carers of young people with the condition; another reminder of how carers, single mums and key workers have struggled during this pandemic, and how they are often the same person!
