Hire the Best Urban Planning Freelancers
in the United Kingdom

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in various planning initiatives, ranging from comprehensive land-use assessments to telecommunications infrastructure developments. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams and engaging with stakeholders, I have cultivated strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills that have proven instrumental in delivering successful projects. During my academic journey, I had the opportunity to delve into cutting-edge planning methodologies and sustainable urban development practices. I am well-versed in utilizing GIS tools (ArcGIS, QGIS) and data analysis to inform evidence-based decision-making, ensuring that planning initiatives align with the needs and aspirations of communities while adhering to environmental best practices. Recently, I completed the "In-depth - Australian Legislation & Governance" course offered by the Planning Institute of Australia. This has given me a solid understanding of both Australian and Queensland laws (Full Irish Planning Institute/ Planning Institute Australia memberships). I have gained valuable professional experience and am eager to continue expanding my knowledge and skills. I have a strong work ethic, pay attention to detail and am enthusiastic about supporting my partners's mission and driving positive changes.

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

I specialise in research-led cartography, GIS, and data visualisation, helping organisations transform complex spatial and statistical data into clear, publication-ready graphics. My experience spans academic research, urban regeneration, strategic planning, and editorial cartography, producing maps, diagrams, and infographics for journals, reports, masterplans, presentations, and public consultation. Every project balances spatial accuracy with thoughtful graphic design, ensuring information is accessible, engaging, and visually refined. Using QGIS alongside Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, Rhino, and Grasshopper, I develop bespoke mapping and visual communication tailored to each client's needs.

⭐ 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, Australia, Europe, South America, and India, 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, Figma, 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
