Sunni (Sun) Brown is a social entrepreneur, acclaimed author, keynote speaker, fluent collaborator + seasoned facilitator, Deep Self Designer™ and American Zen chaplain-in-formation. In 2007, Sun founded one of the country’s first visual-thinking consultancies, Sunni Brown Ink, and after leading and inspiring millions of multi-sensory learners, she deepened her offering and founded The Center for Deep Self Design. She was named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” and one of the “10 Most Creative People on Twitter” by Fast Company. Her TED talk has drawn over 1.6 million views and her work on visual thinking has been featured in every major U.S. publication including The New York Times, The New York Post (twice!), The Wall Street Journal (twice!), Time Magazine, WIRED, and Entrepreneur, as well as being featured twice on CBS Sunday Morning and on The TODAY Show. She was recruited by the former CEO of MURAL to be their first and only Innovator-in-Residence.

Sun’s two globally-beloved books—Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers and Changemakers, and The Doodle Revolution: Unlock the Power to Think Differently—have been translated into 25 languages and counting. She’s one of the educators widely credited with the rise of visual thinking as a tool for deeper inquiry, and she designed an elegant method of inner science called Deep Self Design™, which will be featured in a future book, part-memoir, part how-to. You can find her writing and teaching on Substack @NothingintheWay.
