For nearly 20 years I have been designing and running workshops, meetings and seminars from Budapest to Belfast. My love of doodling was initially sparked as a means to work with cross cultural and language barriers and to convey complicated concepts in a clear way for non-native English speakers. Through these doodling experiences I realized that that the multi-cultural groups grasped complicated concepts and situations more creatively and more concretely than my standard native English-speaking clients. Gradually, I realized that greater clarity and creativity can be found in all subjects and with native and non-native English speakers and I began to work with doodling more and more. I now incorporate doodling in all of my work—I doodle in meetings, when designing sessions and even use it as a form of quiet meditation to unwind after a challenging day.
