Using visuals to clarify, collaborate and inspire!

At the Graphic Distillery we partner with change consultants, strategists, and innovators to help groups process complex information, generate new ideas, and solve problems.

We transform concepts into clear, compelling visuals—that aid in understanding, retention and can inspire change.

  • "I recently partnered with Emily on an important offsite, and I consider her a graphic recording master. She fine-tuned the agenda with me, came perfectly prepped, and created dynamic visuals in the meeting which will have lasting power for years to come. She held the space magically and with humor. I would include her on every single facilitation engagement to get exponential results for the client."

    —Ratna Amin,  Founder, Infragarden

  • "I’ve been working with Emily for over five years and it is an absolute delight to collaborate with her! She is a great listener, and is incredibly quick at translating concepts into visuals. Our strategy sessions and learning initiatives would not be the same without her charts to support our process, clarify our thinking, and share back our learnings to the organization."

    —Andy Billings, Profitable Creativity (VP, Organizational Effectiveness), Electronic Arts

  • "Emily’s work in a session elevates connection and meaning, and increases the lasting impact of everyone’s contribution. Her participation exponentially accelerates the client return on investment of time, while also making it a much more joyful process!"

  • "I have been working with Emily for more than 10 years. She is absolutely my right arm in any creative client session. Emily has many special talents, but I think her greatest gift is her ability to create visual metaphors for complex strategic thoughts in real time. Her flexible and creative mind is of huge value during those moments when a team is struggling to shape their ideas into a clear concept. Additionally, Emily is sharp, professional and really, really fun to work with."

    —Cecilia Lynch, Founder and Chief Strategist, Focused Momentum
