Friday, November 16th, 2012 - Filed under Infographics, Lights in the People Tunnel, PowerPoints, Visual Thinking

Steelcase is one of our repeat clients, and one we have a lot of respect for. The company started out 100 years ago specializing in file cabinets and safes, and has since gone through so many evolutions that parts of it are unrecognizable from its humble beginnings. Where Steelcase and Sunni Brown overlap involves innovation, [...]

For Fast Company: My Creative Process Unfolding

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011 - Filed under Comics and Sketches, Infographics, Spokesperson Sunni

When Fast Company put me one their 100 Most Creative People in Business 2011 list, they asked that I draw an image of my creative process so they could use it to promote the event.

Sunday, June 12th, 2011 - Filed under Infographics

The Center for Teaching Qualityis a repeat client of ours and our admiration is mutual. This small but dynamite organization works to redefine what it means to be a teacher in the 21st Century – legislatively, politically and in the virtual/classroom.

Both visuals were done by hand in one sitting, with calligraphy pens, no white-out and no first-try pencil marks. On occasion I would forget to [...]

NYU/Messagefirst Infographic

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 - Filed under Infographics

As I mentioned to my client Todd Zaki Warfel of Messagefirst, I am exceptionally proud of this NYU Study Abroad infographic. It took a sizable amount of production time and brain power, and were it not for the acumen of my stellar design team (and the teamwork and cooperation of Messagefirst), this poster-sized piece would [...]
