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.
