Are you ready to re-imagine
what’s possible?
Graphic facilitation – our ability to visualize your future — is what we’re known for and it weaves through everything we do. People come to us with all kinds of IDEAS and we help them get their ideas out of their heads and into the world where they can see them and make a difference.
We do this by collaboratively designing and facilitating human-centered, immersive experiences that ignite creativity and guide your people to clarity, alignment and cohesion as you build a better future, together.
What we do can be applied in so many different ways because it’s all about visual thinking so that you can inspire innovation, manage conflict, intentionally plan for change, align on strategy and message, envision resiliency and get things done strategically with tangible results.

Bold. Imaginative.
Intuitive. Different.
Here at Making Ideas Visible we are IDEA ALCHEMISTS and we do things differently to deliver extraordinary results. We believe in the creative possibility that exists when you bring people together to create something new, solve an age-old problem or re-imagine your world.
We are inspired by people like you– innovative thinkers, visionary leaders, creators and collaborators— willing to try new ways of thinking and doing to make the world a better place.
As graphic facilitators, we’re visual thinkers with backgrounds in business, strategy and organizational development. Our terrain is EMERGENCE and imagination, the fertile space where ideas come to life. We have a keen understanding of how collective intelligence can be harnessed through evocative conversation and brought to life in large scale visualizations.
Whether you’ve got a meeting, conference, project, event, or story to tell, we can help you think differently and launch your brilliant ideas into the world.

We make your ideas visible by harvesting the wisdom of the collective which enables deeper understanding, participation, clarity of vision, ideation, and engagement. We reveal the system to itself. Sometimes we are simply listeners/synthesizers and often we guide these conversations.
