Think Visual Meetups are monthly in-person events for professionals across industries who want to expand their visual communication toolkit and be inspired by meaningful stories about the power of creativity and visual storytelling.
How can you make your ideas and perhaps success LIMITLESS?
A big thanks to the participants in our March Think Visual! Houston Meetup & our speaker, Ray Anthony, who inspired us with examples of products and presentations exhibiting LIMITLESS creative thinking.
Together, we peeked at some pages from Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbook and played with a classic collaborative visual dreaming tool (“The Exquisite Corpse”) to generate innovative machines that have yet to exist.

Our favorite part of each meetup is witnessing a room of quiet individuals transform into a buzzing hive of Creatives.
We begin each meetup by "thinking visually" with a creative exercise to move people from passive observers to active producers.
We get people making without knowing what the end result will be. (Difficult for most adults!)
We move them from their analytical adult brain into their child's heart, where movement, imaginative play, drawing, and storytelling are the real work.
This is an essential ingredient for innovation and collaborative design!
