Headless Greg is an illustrator, designer and journalist. A visual thinker who is also good with words. The creative alter-ego of Greg McIndoe. Mental health advocate and proud queer man. Glaswegian boy now based in Birmingham.

Despite being Headless, Greg wears many hats.

  • Working across print and digital, Greg uses his graphic eye to simplify even the most complicated of ideas, turning them into sleek yet charming illustrations.

  • Greg currently works as Community Lead at Agents for Change, an assembly of illustration agencies working together to diversify their industry. Through this role, he has learnt about how the illustration industry can do better and helped offer a leg-up to artists from typically underrepresented groups.

  • Greg previously spent three years working as Editor at Make Bank, a social project which fought against creative poverty by providing disadvantaged high school pupils in the UK with the art materials and resources they needed to reach their full creative potential.

    Through this role, he learnt how to champion and improve diversity, accessibility and inclusivity within the design sector, and connected with a community of creative changemakers who are making the industry, and wider world, a fairer place.

  • Podcast guest, public speaker, mentor, student awards judge - Greg's favourite thing about his job is how it allows him to try all sorts of different things. If you have an idea, please get in touch.

A community of creative changemakers are fighting to make our industry - and the wider world - a fairer place. They have taught me so much and inspired me to join their mission.
