Making Ideas Visible

well that was fun! Got to work with a room full of kids, learning how they learn best, gathering that qualitative data which will be built into learning programs across the state. Apparently my name is being passed along to someone in the governor’s office for more work.

Two hours of work and had to stay two nights because I couldn’t get a flight out in time to make a connection home so I wandered downtown and took in the sites.

That 5 am flight this morning had an early wake up.

Now I think there are only three states I haven’t been to yet.

When we do a multi-day meeting and end up with a lot of visual maps, we can stack them into a sculpture and they become a gathering point for conversation and a photo backdrop, creating a “wow” factor for the participants.

When I need to get my own thoughts out of my head I do an “elegant braindump” so that I can see all the pieces I’m currently chewing on. I do these--usually a more extensive version--for individual clients as well. Check out The Emergence Session.

At a trade show in the booth, we provided added engagement and content with our visual mapping as participants identified ways to make the shipping industry more sustainable.

Constantly immersing myself in new learning of processes, techniques, materials, etc. keeps me excited about and engaged in my work. I love how what I do has endless possibilities to expand and grow. This was a 5-day workshop that helped me rediscover myself as an artist and bring that more into my work.
