Hire the Best Urban Design Specialists
in the United Kingdom

Looking for a clean, professional design that communicates the information it needs to? I specialise in digital cartography/map design, document layout, catalogues, and travel guides - producing clean, premium and print-ready files across a range of projects and industries. I spent nearly four years at Allies and Morrison Urban Practitioners, one of the UK's leading planning and design consultancies, producing large-scale documents, GIS-informed maps, and visual communications for public- and private-sector clients such as The Greater London Authority and Historic England. I bridge the technical and creative sides of these processes; I understand the data and I know how to make it look exceptional. Most recently, I have designed a map and guide template for a cruise and travel company; producing print-ready port maps and guide pages from scratch. What I can help with: 📄 Document Design and Layout: InDesign guides, reports, catalogues, PDFs, master pages and paragraph/character styles 🗺️ Map and Cartographic Design: Illustrated maps, travel and tourism maps, GIS-informed outputs 🎨 Graphic Design: Professional and distinct brochures, print-ready assets, and visual storytelling 🏙️ Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis: Context reviews, planning policy analysis, spatial data interpretation Tools: Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, GIS datasets I work best with clients who have a clear brief and value precision, communication, and creativity. "Ellie produced exceptional GIS and design outputs: visually strong, technically accurate, and always delivered with care and attention to detail." - Senior Colleague, Allies and Morrison Urban Practitioners

⭐ Top Rated Plus Urban Designer & Urban Planner with architecture background specializing in masterplanning, site planning, and feasibility studies for high-stakes real estate developers and bold city-makers who need to move projects past governance and policy gridlock, and de-risk capital before it's committed. Over 9+ years across the USA, UK, UAE, wider Middle East, Europe, South America, South Africa and India, including time at larger masterplanning studios like CBRE and Gensler, I've helped investors and developers test whether an ambitious idea actually works against physical and regulatory constraints, before they commit budget to it. If you've got a vision but don't know whether it's by-right, hybrid, or how it'll land with a city council, that's exactly the stage I work in. Feasibility & Optioneering (pre-commitment) ▪️ Design feasibility and site optioneering to prove commercial viability before capital is committed ▪️ Urban Sprints that turn early conversations into tangible, investor-ready options ▪️ Land use strategy and site appraisal grounded in what's actually buildable Navigating Sensitive & Gridlocked Planning Contexts ▪️ Urban strategy for greenbelts, high-density corridors, and other stalled or highly regulated sites ▪️ Contextual thinking that helps ambitious projects hold up against governance, policy, and community pressure ▪️ Bridging the gap between developer vision and what planning authorities will actually approve Public Realm & Place Narratives ▪️ Turning buildings into places people actually want to visit and stay in ▪️ People-first public realm and movement strategy for districts with square footage but no identity ▪️ Place narratives that support footfall, safety, and community buy-in Masterplanning & Detailed Site Layouts ▪️ Concept masterplans through to technically grounded, site-specific layouts ▪️ Tailored urban solutions, not rigid templates, so schemes are contextually responsive and actually buildable ▪️ Presentation boards and investor-ready decks for planning submissions and capital raises Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, SketchUp, plus AI-assisted visualization for faster concept iteration. 👉 Message me with your site and where you're stuck, governance, feasibility, or place, and I'll tell you honestly what's achievable and how I'd approach it. ------------ Urban Planning Urban Design Urban Planner Urban Designer Site Planning Masterplanning Master Planning Feasibility Study Land Use Planning Land Use Strategy Site Analysis Public Realm Design Mixed-Use Development Real Estate Development Architectural Illustration Presentation Design Adobe Illustrator SketchUp Urban Design Diagrams
