Visual storytelling services for ethical & sustainable organizations

I develop visual systems and illustration campaigns that turn complex sustainability, conservation, and ocean health topics into actionable initiatives. If you’re looking for a well-rounded creative partner who can translate your vision into compelling visuals that spark awareness, prompt engagement and drive positive change, you've landed in the right place.  

Your strategic vision brought to life by Styngvi Studio

You already have a vision but lack the right support to proceed? With a decade of experience as an artivist, illustrator, and designer, I bring creative direction, strategic thinking, and visual storytelling skills to shape purpose-driven projects from the first idea through to final delivery. I lead every project personally and bring in trusted creative collaborators when the scope requires it.

I offer three levels of creative support, depending on how much direction, strategy, and execution your project needs:
Visual direction & campaign strategy
For larger projects that need a skilled, artistic eye and clear visual direction from the start without a dedicated in-house design team. I help shape the concept, define the creative approach and guide the project through to final delivery. This may include:

  • visual strategy and art direction
  • audience and messaging alignment
  • campaign identity ideation and illustration
  • website design and development
  • concept & assets development across platforms
  • creative content development and production
  • collaboration with internal creative, scientific and operations teams

This is best suited to those who need more than someone simply executing a brief. These projects usually run for three to six months, depending on the scope, deliverables, and number of people involved.
Visual development & campaign illustrations
Specific, well-defined illustration and visual storytelling for those that already have the campaign and messaging roughly outlined but need someone to sharpen the vision. This collaboration welcomes my input and sector knowledge to refine the artistic direction without fully directing it. It may include:

  • exploring or refining creative concepts
  • developing or evolving a visual identity
  • defining the illustration style and visual approach
  • creating key artwork and supporting campaign assets
  • collaborating with an existing creative or communications team

If you’re an organization that needs an experienced illustrator to help with visual elements of your campaign or project, this is for you. Projects usually run from three weeks to three months, depending on the scope and number of deliverables.
Smaller scale visual storytelling
For smaller, clearly defined projects that need custom visuals without a wider campaign or strategy phase. This may include:

  • report or infographic artwork
  • one-off campaign illustrations
  • posters, icons and spot illustrations
  • custom visuals for an existing brand
  • social media and digital campaign assets

This type of collaboration typically takes between two and four weeks, ranging by the complexity, number of deliverables, and feedback times.
Dislaimer: Please note that I currently prioritize projects with a bigger scope. For quick deliveries and last-minute projects, a rush fee applies.

In addition to my offers, I am also open to discussing creative collaboration as an artist in residence, mural artist, or for in-person projects where my presence from the start is essential for the quality of your project.
Are you interested in exploring my existing designs? Feel free to dive into my Ocean License Library if you want to spark new ideas for your next project or license my current artwork directly for a more affordable option.

Additionally, some of my existing designs and personal projects have been brought to life through my Shop. If you are looking to add ethical, sustainable apparel and merchandise to your stock, this might be a good starting point.


My pledge to give back

I know the importance of supporting businesses when the mission exceeds the budget. That’s why I offer discounted or pro bono services for some non-profits and animal sanctuaries. A portion of my proceeds always goes to causes close to my heart. 

If you have a meaningful project but are working with a tight budget, you can apply for a pro bono spot. To ensure a quality standard of my work, I take on two pro bono projects each year to keep giving back!
I’ve also signed the Clean Creatives pledge and am proud to be part of the Creatives For Climate collective—a group of creative professionals who refuse to work with polluting industries. It’s my way of ensuring that my work aligns with my values and supports a healthier planet.
