Want to gain creative confidence with drawing to communicate complex sustainability ideas more effectively?

Here’s a taste of my illustration workshop ✏️

No need to write too many words or design pretty slides.

Learn how to use drawings to cut through the noise in a world of short attention spans and business as usual.

Why draw complex ideas?

Drawing is fast ⏰

In the fast-paced world of business as usual, a quick sketch can help get an idea out of your head quickly. Why write (which people have limited time to read) or pretend to be a graphic designer in powerpoint? Create a simple sketch instead!

It cuts through the noise 🔥

With more and more reports, policies and research on incredibly complex sustainability ideas, strategies or innovations - we need simple and engaging ways to communicate this information in a way that triggers action.

It’s how our brain is wired 🧠

65% of the population are visual learners, and 99% of info transmitted to the brain is visual. Naturally, we respond to and engage with visuals.

“The most powerful tool in economics is not money nor even algebra.

It is a pencil. Because with a pencil you can redraw the world.”
