About Us
Dedicated to helping professionals unlock the power of visual thinking
Our Mission
At Sketching at Work, we believe that visual thinking transforms how people work, communicate, and solve problems. Our mission is to make powerful visualization tools accessible to everyone, from managers and consultants to entrepreneurs and educators.
We've seen firsthand how a few simple sketches can break down communication barriers, clarify complex ideas, and lead to better decisions. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to developing and sharing practical visualization techniques that anyone can learn and use immediately.
Whether you're planning a strategy, facilitating a meeting, or presenting to clients, visual thinking gives you a powerful way to engage your audience and make your ideas stick. We're here to help you master these skills.
What We Do
Develop Tools
We create and refine visualization tools based on real-world experience. Each technique in our collection has been tested and proven effective in actual business situations.
Our tools range from simple frameworks for organizing thoughts to sophisticated mapping techniques for strategic analysis. They're designed to be practical, flexible, and immediately applicable.
Share Knowledge
Through our book, seminars, and online resources, we share everything we've learned about visual thinking. We believe knowledge should be accessible and practical.
Our approach is hands-on and results-oriented. We don't just teach theory—we show you exactly how to use these tools in your daily work, with real examples and step-by-step guidance.
Support Learning
We provide ongoing support to help you develop your visual thinking skills. From workshops to individual coaching, we're committed to your success.
Learning visual thinking is a journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Our community of practitioners shares experiences, tips, and inspiration.
Our Approach
Simplicity First
We believe that the best tools are simple enough to use immediately, yet powerful enough to handle complex challenges. You don't need to be an artist to benefit from visual thinking—you just need to understand the principles and practice the techniques.
Practical Focus
Every tool we develop is tested in real business situations. We focus on what works, not what looks impressive. Our goal is to give you techniques you can use tomorrow, not abstract concepts that sound good but don't deliver results.
Continuous Improvement
We're constantly learning from our own experience and from the feedback of people who use our tools. We refine our techniques based on what we discover, always striving to make them more effective and easier to use.
Why Visual Thinking Matters
The Challenge
In today's complex business environment, professionals face constant challenges: communicating complex ideas clearly, aligning teams around shared goals, making decisions with incomplete information, and presenting proposals that get buy-in.
Traditional approaches—long documents, bullet-point presentations, abstract discussions—often fall short. They don't engage people effectively, and they don't help people see connections and implications.
The Solution
Visual thinking provides a different way forward. By translating ideas into visual form, you make them more concrete, more engaging, and easier to understand. People can see relationships, identify patterns, and grasp implications more quickly.
When you sketch out an idea, you're not just communicating—you're thinking. The act of drawing helps you clarify your own understanding and discover new insights. It's a tool for both communication and cognition.
