ABOUT US
We do our best work across three spaces
(that often intersect)
Facilitation
Facilitating group discussions with teams, organisations, and communities to build shared understandings, explore options, and create consensus on pathways forward.
Strategic or operational planning
Co-design
Problem-solving
Team building / dynamics
Change management
Graphic recording
Illustrating discussions and presentations live and in full view of the group. Kinda like visual minutes. The forming mural prompts thinking, discussion, and memory retention. And you’ve got something pretty to share at the end.
Workshops
Conferences
Symposiums
Illustration
Bringing complex information and stories to life in simple visual formats, often condensing large amounts of data into simple language formats to support engagement activities.
Infographics
Plan and document visualisation
Rich pictures
Engagement booklets / posters

Graphic Recording
We bring your ideas to life in vibrant, engaging visuals.
Graphic Recording involves us attending your conference or workshop to listen in and translate your complex ideas into clear, memorable visuals in real time and in full view of the group. This helps participants see the bigger picture as it unfolds. Graphic recording has a range of benefits:
Crystal Clear - Graphic recording transforms complex concepts into clear and concise visuals, making information more accessible and understandable for everyone involved.
People Love Stories - Visual storytelling engages audiences more effectively than traditional methods, ensuring that your message is not only heard but remembered.
Stays in the Brain - People tend to remember visual information better than text alone. Graphic recording creates memorable images that reinforce key points.
It’s Sparks Ideas - The visual aspect of graphic recording stimulates creativity and inspires new ideas, fostering an environment of innovation during brainstorming sessions and meetings.
People Get Involved - Graphic recording encourages active participation by turning meetings into interactive visual experiences. This inclusivity fosters collaboration and team engagement.
Makes Decisions Easier - Visual summaries created through graphic recording serve as quick reference tools, helping teams make decisions faster and stay focused on key priorities.
Sweet Memories - Whether used in conferences, workshops, or presentations, graphic recording creates memorable and visually appealing documentation of events, leaving a lasting impact on participants.
Facilitation
We’ve learned one thing in 2,000+ workshops - they’re complex critters.
Our job as facilitators is to take this complexity and transform it into an effortless experience for everyone involved to do their best, most present, and most creative work together.
During the workshop, you can trust that our facilitators will always display and balance the following skills:
Participation - Everyone has a piece of the puzzle and everyone is different, so we’re always looking for ways to encourage participants to engage and contribute in a way that feels comfortable for them. A safe, comfortable, and genuine vibe is of paramount importance to us.
Active Listening - We’re always listening for what is (and what isn’t) being said and how that’s affecting the task at hand and the group dynamic. Listening is verbal and non-verbal.
Questioning - We employ a careful mix of open-ended probing, reframing, and confirming questions to keep the group on track, stimulate discussion, and ensure participation.
Problem-solving - Whilst you’re solving the problem, we’re keeping an eye on the way you solve it; by ensuring you’re defining the problem, exploring the causes, considering a range of solutions and taking the time to select the best solution.
Conflict - Hey, it happens (we’d be more worried if there wasn’t a little tension), so conflict between group members should always be prepared for and dealt with constructively.
Neutrality and Empathy - It’s our job to model an open, non—judgemental and neutral mindset to get the group to a similar space. It’s important that we’re ‘stepping into another’s shoes’ so to speak.
Purposeful - We’ve agreed to a purpose for the workshop and it’s important that we manage our time, energy and efforts to strive towards that purpose.
