Visual Mapping

Using visual notes can amplify, and simplify spatial information at scale. Live visuals can offer opportunities for audience engagement, and give concrete shapes to ideas that help stick.

 

When we invite creative thinking  to connection-building and conversation, we're able to visualize the stories between the contour lines.
