Visual Storytelling
I am a huge believer in the power of stories and tout visual communication as one of my superpowers. This can look like a whiteboard sketch, a video reel, a dynamic presentation - but they all have a very intentional point of view. I use stories to help people understand, empathize & align.
Storyboarding
I have found this to be an effective technique to put ideas into context when presenting to users and stakeholders. When building a concept test for a mobile invoicing tool, I used storyboards to explain how this tool would be used on site in conjunction with other digital tools.
Brainstorming
As a lifelong artist and advocate for visual learning, I have adapted my drawing skillset to be a means of communication. This becomes very valuable during rapid concept generation and brainstorming in groups.
System mapping
I've found that cross functional teams often benefit from having shared assets to reference. For a SaaS product, I documented all the stages that users interacted with the system. It was used for alignment, roadmap planning, and training new employees.
