Thinking in Visual Metaphors

Stop competing for attention. Be different and translate your ideas into visuals. You might be saying..."Well, that's all well and good, but I can't draw." Rest assured.Visual thinking is not about drawing. The main "draw" (🥁) of visual thinking is communicating ideas in a deep, impactful way. If you're keen on clarifying your thinking and using the power of metaphors to create content that stands out, you're in the right place. Join me in this 3 week course to learn the techniques and frameworks I’ve used to attract an engaged international audience of 350,000+ people.
