I’m inspired by the power that visual elements offer to enhance communication no matter if they are digital or analogue.
I am particularly interested in sketchnotes, visualization in moderation processes and coaching and how visual can improve processes of learning and teaching by increasing engagement, understanding, remembrance and development of new ideas.

I caught the vizthink bug while studying at the KaosPilots in Denmark in 2006 and haven’t stopped drawing since. I’ve been running my own visual consultancy providing graphic recording, graphic facilitation and vizthink workshops since 2009. Britta, Ralf and I started vizthink Hamburg in 2013 to give some momentum to the emerging topic of visual thinking and create a community of practice in Germany.

At the career network XING (www.xing.com) I am heading the internal User Experience Lab and advising my colleagues when it comes to user experience, creativity techniques and visual facilitation. At VizWorks I teach adults basic drawing skills that they can use at work. It’s my vision to spread the visual language around the globe in order to increase the power of innovation as well as bringing focus and fun to everybody’s working environment.
