Ian Cooke Tapia
Ian Cooke Tapia is a writer, illustrator and entrepreneur who uses his wide range of storytelling skills to explain the anthropogenic environment. Ian’s work is influenced by his time spent daydreaming around tropical savannah farms, rubbing shoulders with biologists and archaeologists.
Ian achieved a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration from Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2016, and soon realised he needed a bit of help. He started his entrepreneurial journey with plans to open a co-working space, which turned into a digital hub, and later evolved into a digital magazine. While working on this project, he was able to identify a niche where arts and culture could support the improved communication of scientific research through illustration and storytelling.
Ian joined the University of South Wales Startup Stiwdio in 2018, and soon after, he founded Cooked Illustrations. Here he offers a range of services through Animation, Infographics, Comics, Illustrated Reports and much more to improve learning outcomes and audience engagement with research results.
