CARTOONATHONS

Cartoonathons use cartoons to help organizations grapple with tough issues. The cartoon can illuminate tensions, especially ones that are taboo or unacknowledged, and make those tensions easier to talk about and solve. Cartoons can also capture key issues, reframe questions, and encourage participants to see issues from view points other than their own. The cartoons are often used in conferences or meetings and can be drawn ahead of time or live depending on what your goals are for the gathering. Below are examples from cartoonathons for the Red Cross Climate Center, the World Bank, and other humanitarian organizations. If you don’t need a cartoonathon but would like to use an already existing cartoon, you can easily license it.

 I use words and pictures to make ideas clear and memorable.

If your organization wants a visual, engaging way to clarify their message, a sharable graphic that captures key takeaways, or a visual process for collaboration, get in touch. There are many different ways to combine words and pictures to meet your goals. I can work remotely and am often available to travel.
