Graphic Recording

Seeing the 'big picture' emerge live is very valuable during an event or conference where many different stories come together. And afterwards, the visual serves as the perfect artefact for all participants.

Herontdek je eigen'creative confidence'

Als kind houden we allemaal van tekenen. Helaas raken de meeste van ons dit plezier later kwijt. Hervind je eigen creatieplezier en leer hoe je dit ook in je professionele leven kunt toepasssen in een training of coaching.

Voor je zelf om je gedachten te ordenen in een mindmap. Of als in gesprek met anderen met een flipover of whiteboard.

Het 'grote plaatje' inbeeld brengen, live getekend op je event of congres.

Herkenbaar voor alle deelnemers tijdens en na de bijeenkomst!

Way of working

Imagination as the journey and the destination

Imagination is not only the final result in ways like an appealing visual or presentation, but also a process tool to arrive at a good conversation and to understand each other faster and better. This is my design approach:

Change through cocreation

Realizing change in a successfull way is not something you accomplish alone. That's why the Sketchy Business design sessions are always co-creative.

In this way, we build on the collective intelligence of all involved and create better stories that are also more widely supported.

Space and attention

I facilitate workshops with careful attention to both the needs of individual participants and group dynamics.

This creates a safe space in which you as a team feel welcome to brainstorm freely and explore different perspectives.

Sketching as prototyping

The visuals are the result of an iterative design process of making and testing.

In this way, all the sketches function as prototypes for the story you want to tell. And they invite you to dream and connect with others.

Multidimensional

The Sketchy Business imagery is drawn with clear lines and in spatial perspective (3D).

This spatiality also allows for abstract, layered stories to be depicted in a clear and attractive way.

Strategic narrative

It all results in an inspiring visual story that enables you to set out your vision and mission, goals and targets in a fast and convincing way.

The visuals support you in making complex ideas accessible. And it provides strategic direction for both internal and external stakeholders.

About Sketchy Business

Envisioning a brighter future, together

Portret Herman Weeda

I am Herman Weeda, founder of Sketchy Business and Amsterdam based. I work with national and international clients on important themes that deserve a compelling story. Think of innovation in healthcare, circular construction or climate adaptation.

I've got a background as an industrial designer, which allows me to quickly translate complex issues into clear concepts. I like the tension between creativity and structure, between planned and improvised, between intuitive and analytical.

In order to be able to facilitate successful sessions and workshops, I have gained experience in, among other things, Art of Hosting and Theory U. This helps me to guide conversations that really matter, for the project and for the participants.

Please get in touch if you want to know more.
