Visual thinking makes thoughts visible to you and others so you can both see them more clearly, understand them, and make the best decisions about them.

Three of six posters created for a workshop at MindCamp, Canada's Creativity Conference. All six posters were also combined to create an accompanying visual handout.

Design Thinking is a road that has many 'up-ramps' which form bridges across our everyday limitations.

Design Thinking moves us from one level of awareness to another.

Design Thinking works best when one has a 'prepared mind'.

Design Thinking results in 'valuable' outcomes.

Design Thinking has a process that is visualized in many individual ways.

Design Thinking moves as swiftly & smoothly as a metaphorical spider on a concept net.

Words and images are most powerful when used together. This image compares and contrasts the characteristics of both.

Design Thinking influences extends beyond our current areas of learning.

Design Thinking is most mature when it works to fight the 'self-persisting I, me & my'.

Professional Development workshops

Design Thinking moves us from where we are to where we want to be.

Design Thinking is the difference that makes the difference in management.

Design Thinking has outcomes that are not finite but rather are infinite, as they lead to a multitude of alternative outcomes.

Design Thinking oscillates between flexible actions and sensitive feedback.

Design Thinking calls on the individual to play many roles, all of which are held within an 'action frame'.

Three of several dozen signs created for a preschool parent activity night. All signs were created with construction paper and glue sticks on poster board.

Creativity takes courage! The rewards often result from risks taken.

Design Thinking is a road that is always under construction.

Playfulness is essential to creativity and creative thinking. Great ideas rarely come to those who scowl!

Design Thinking echoes models that are used in musical composition.

Design Thinking ultimately is responsible for putting new options on the table.

Visual agendas make things run more smoothly, since everyone knows the plan upfront. A well-designed visual agenda also helps to build curiosity and anticipation that keep folks engaged throughout the day.

Design Thinking can only strive to achieve the beauty and elegance that exists already within nature.

Check out this blog post for a quick and simple visual thinking exercise using the letter A:

Visual instructions for activities make things clear for everyone. This means participants ask fewer how-to questions and there's more time for active engagement, participation, and discussion.

Embarrassment is a partner in the creative process—a key collaborator.

~ Anne Bogart

Creativity involves taking a lot of risks. And there's no guarantee every risk taken will unfold perfectly. Highly creative people are willing to risk embarrassment in the hope it will lead to a great creation.

Every creative act, whether big or small, involves this risk to some degree. In fact, many great inventions were laughed at when first introduced. So the possibility of embarrassment is not just limited to the arts.

If your work does not sufficiently embarrass you, then very likely no one will be touched by it.

~ Anne Bogart

Design Thinking is a redline that runs throughout a collection of meta-patterns

Molly Cox

After an illustrious career in radio, Molly Cox, a native of Corpus Christi, Texas, moved to San Antonio in 2006. In that time she has collected five dogs, who provide her with endless entertainment. She spends her days as the Chief of Engagement with SA2020 and eating copious amounts of cheese. In her quest to emcee all things, she has worked with some amazing organizations, including Any Baby Can, YOSA, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and of course TEDxSanAntonio.

Design Thinking challenges assumptions to unpack the essential structure of a model.

This is the syllabus I used when I taught numerous cartooning classes.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. ~ Beverly Sills

Design Thinking follows the principles of interactions in nature.

The Problem with being an Overseas Filipino Worker wp.me/P4PBTD-18B

is that the children and wife we leave behind in the Philippines are forced to adopt a surrogate father and husband.

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

~ George S. Patton

Conformity is often seen as a bad thing when talking about creativity. But sometimes, conformity can be good. A lot of times, the best idea or solution actually is rooted in what everyone else is thinking - with an unexpected twist.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.

~ Albert Einstein

The ability to look at what everyone else is looking at and see it with an unusual twist is a key trait of highly creative people. One way this is accomplished, is to examine things from multiple perspectives. This may mean physically moving around an object. It can also be done by trying to see through other people's eyes in your imagination.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

~ Bruce Lee

When things stay in your imagination, they remain imaginary. Creativity requires action to bring ideas to life.

Venture deep into the wilderness of lost thought to the point that you physically shiver with apprehension, and there you will find creativity.

~ Carl Henegan

Creativity is often defined as the creation of something new and useful. To create something new, one must try something new. That often involves, or even requires, the creator to step outside their comfort zone a bit.

​While it is common to be somewhat apprehensive when faced with something new, highly creative people do not let any apprehension stop them. Highly creative folks enjoy taking risks, and know there's plenty to gain by trying new things.

Yep, that's me in the middle holding the giant pencil:)

I use that giant pencil (or marker) to make all that murky gray stuff on the left clear and colorful for you so you can get it, grab it, and go for it...and help others do the same.
