Why images?
Because images are sneaky little storytellers.
They turn abstract thinking into something we can see, share and build on.
That idea sits at the heart of my workshops and philosophy. Drawing on years of experience developing visual tools, metaphor elicitation and creative collaboration, I’ve designed these methods to help teams explore their mission, culture and strategy.
Seeing your ideas illustrated helps you recognise what matters most and how to move forward together.
These sessions aren’t about artistic skill — we work together to make thinking visible, turning conversation into shared understanding and creating a visual map that clarifies insight, strengthens collaboration and guides your next steps..
At the heart of my work is a simple idea: pictures help us say what words can’t.
Visual thinking reveals what often stays hidden in conversation — the patterns, tensions and instincts that shape our decision-making.
Tap Into the Creativity Instinct
We begin life curious, playful, inventive — wired to create.
Then life happens — teachers, parents, workplaces — and we’re put into boxes: logical, analytical, artistic.
Many of us stop identifying as creative, even though we use creative problem-solving every single day.
But creativity isn’t something you have or don’t have.I
t’s the thread that connects how we think, collaborate and bring ideas to life.
When you can see it, you can activate it.
As cognitive linguist George Lakoff writes in Metaphors We Live By,
‘We understand abstract concepts in terms of concrete experiences.’
That’s exactly what happens when we use images to think together —
Abstract ideas become visible,
complex goals become graspable,
and new possibilities come into view.
