  I look to simplify client's content so that it's much easier to understand and then give direction of how we can strengthen it visually, either in illustrated, graphic, animation or even VR format. Most of our clients' end-users of our products have low-literacy levels, so we need to ensure absolute clarity. However, we also create content for end-users that have higher literacy levels, such as university students through to fully-qualified engineers. Jincom mainly focuses on Health and Safety content, such as simplifying codes of practices and technical guidelines that need to be followed on site, but we also create Financial content too.
