Organisational representations
Organograms, processes and maps
London - 2021; Glasgow - 2023
Graphic representations improve communication because they can represent and simplify complex ideas. Also, they improve the memory and recall of that information.
​
This page shows some of my work during the past years for the Institute of Neurology (UCL) and sportscotland.
Brief
It was necessary to create graphs, mind maps and visual representations that helped to understand and get the necessary information swiftly.

Design
Maps
Maps are very useful for companies that have their offices in different buildings.
This was the case of IoN: Students and staff needed to move through different buildings and some of them did not appear in the UCL map as they were properties rented by the Institute.
​
I modernised the old version of the area map, adding new premises and services.

3D Floor Plans
The representations of the office were extremely beneficial for newcomers, especially those who needed to use hot desks or had to find members of different teams. However departmental managers also use them to discuss the assignment of the seats and explore a better use of the space.
​
Other 3D images were used in presentations and inductions.
Organograms
I modernised and simplified the organisational organograms.
The new version was a vector image that facilitated its use in different media.
​
Processes
I created mind maps to communicate the projects' different phases, the associated tasks, and the dependencies.
​
The images on the right are examples of process representations that I have created. They improved the communication between all the stakeholders or were used as educational material.

Institutional organograms
UCL is the second-largest university in the UK. It has a complex research structure made up of numerous levels.
I noticed that even senior staff members had difficulties explaining that structure and that the existing UCL and Institute organograms did not explain the relationship between the team and UCL.
​
To bridge that gap, I created this organigram (right mage) for members of the NMR Research Unit. It complemented the UCL general organigram and the Institute's tree (images below).
