The Washington Post – Spreading the Doodle Revolution

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Lights in the People Tunnel, Spokesperson Sunni, The Doodle Revolution, Visual Thinking

My experience as the Resident Doodle Expert at Sharpie, and the subsequent media tour it required, eventually led Margaret Webb-Pressler of the Washington Post to my telephone. She wanted to do a feature on doodling in the Kids Post and thought (probably because I myself am quite a child) that my work would be a [...]

I like to make the most of my work trips around the country, and evidently my editor at O’Reilly, Colleen Wheeler, likes me to do that as well. So while I was returning from a presentation on The Doodle Revolution, she asked me to interview on Martini Hour with she and her co-host, Deke McClelland, [...]

I was absolutely impressed with the Zappos Insights Bootcamp. It’s a 2-day workshop designed to expose people to their famous culture – the values that drive it and the people and policies that keep it growing. I was so impressed, in fact, that I’ll write another blog post soon showing the video with interviews from [...]

Producing TEDx Austin at KLRU Austin City Limits

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Graphic Facilitation, Graphic Recording, Lights in the People Tunnel, Visual Templates, Visual Thinking

Producing TEDx Austin felt like birthing some kind of gigantic baby. I think I can speak for the entire team – Nancy Giordano, Jen Spencer, Kelley Burrus, Shannon Mehner, Chris Justice, Mary Baird-Wilcox and Stacy Weitzner – when I say that it would be impossible to capture the experience in one word. There were triumphs, [...]
