Working with your group to design a single, beautiful image that summarizes your strategic story for your audience,.
Strategic Illustration
Studio pieces designed while working with you to illustrate your vision.
Studio work ranges from large-format murals to digital illustrations and everything in between. After a meeting if leaders want a more polished synthesis of what was discussed, studio illustrations can be used to clean up the most important ideas from a meeting or retreat to quickly share with the entire organization. I work closely with you to create these images over a series of days, weeks or even months to get it just right.
Why create a Visual Summary?
Whether you’re a leader who has struggled to share your vision with an organization, a team having trouble navigating shared understanding, or an organizer who wants to show the impact of your event, a one-page summary of key ideas that people actually want to look at can be invaluable. In just a few minutes, others can see what you mean, see how they fit, and you can move forward together.
Where Illustration is Seen:
Organizational values, mission and goals in a single image
Presentation slides
Academic papers or reports
As handouts or hanging in your hallway as a reminder of what matters most
