The context

Not every request should stall your team.

Editorial teams handle a wide range of requests every day: charts that need rebuilding, images that need retouching, legacy files that need adapting, covers that need changes and materials that need preparing for production.

When those tasks pile up, specialised external support can help your team keep production moving.

You send the request. I take on the production.

Core specialty

Vectorization is more than redrawing.

I turn charts, illustrations, maps, diagrams and other visual elements into organised, editable vector files that fit the needs of the project.

Rasterised, low-resolution or original source material.
