Visual Communication
& Creative Direction

I’m Bohie Blackwood. I help organisations communicate complex ideas through strategy, storytelling and design. Every project is thoughtfully shaped to invite curiosity, build connection and spark meaningful conversation.

More than just the artwork

Every project is different. Some clients come to me for an illustration, others for creative direction, communication strategy or education design. Whether you need support at the beginning of a project or a creative partner from concept to completion, I tailor my involvement to suit your goals.

Creative direction sits at the heart of my practice

I help organisations untangle complex ideas, clarify what they're really trying to communicate, and determine how best to connect with their audience.

Whatever the message, I bring together strategy, storytelling and design to translate complexity into meaningful communication. The result is a cohesive project where strategy, storytelling and design work together to create authentic engagement.

Bohie helped us refine and strengthen our approach so that our message became clearer, more powerful, and perfectly fit for purpose.

Her ability to balance design, storytelling, and cultural sensitivity is remarkable.”

— Co-ordinator of Indigenous Education, SCEGGS Darlinghurst

When people see themselves in the story, art shifts from expression to transformation

Let’s Create Something Meaningful Together

I work with organisations, councils, and communities to turn ideas into visual stories that connect and inspire.

From student-led projects to community campaigns, each collaboration is shaped by place, purpose and the people it’s for.
