Eye-think is a map-making and training consultancy, plotting the territory of change in a visual way.

We live and work in an information economy, where we are required to process a lot of data. Our culture expects linear sequential thinking, even though most of us think in images. When we want to make a big change, it’s our visual-spatial faculties that will help us navigate the depths of the quagmire. 

Through our work, we offer a new visual thinking language and tools to build fluent change-making cultures.

Our big ambitions for the work we do

culture change.

We want to achieve profound culture change. That means enlivened cultures full of meaningful interactions, design full of joyful creation and people working systemically together.

creative contribution.

We're here to make a contribution to our cultural development.  This happens when we are most creative. It not easy to believe our mortal selves can provide such a dent, but we can. 

full participation.

We are repeatedly misunderstood.  In part because we don’t understand ourselves and our communication preferences.  What if we could participate in our world, workplace and relationships fully, where we can explore and be understood in equal measure..

Rachel started her professional life as an architect, training at the Royal College of Art. She specialised in creating masterplan visions for heritage sites. It was here she began to form a new visual-spatial language to guide others during periods of growth.  She recognised that this way of working had capabilities far beyond the reserve of architecture. After a decade, she wrapped up her pens ready for more.
 
Three years on, Rachel supports organisations as a visual thinking designer, fac-illustrator, strategist and visual thinking trainer. Her experience takes a diagonal slice across sectors and scales, working with startups, entrepreneurs, small businesses, millenial cultures and in big organisations. Running her education programme on visual thinking for innovation has helped hundreds of people achieve fluency in getting closer to their own capabilities as communicators and visionaries.

Mapping.

A map is a drawn edit of a conversation or narrative.  It is a spatial way to assimilate information based on relevance and relationship rather than the order things come up.  Here is a series of maps that have helped clients to process information, generate insight, provide a locus for a conversation, design an idea or to tell a story.
