My whole life I greatly enjoy working with people. On many occasions I’ve heard that my enthusiasm and flexiblity inspire people to open up and become more playful in order to collaborate in a positive manner.

I regularly team up with trainer-collegues, where my visualization is an asset to clarify the information, address underlying questions, and to anchor the insights (in an artwork).

In my experience a drawing is the visible beginning of effective change.

I regularly team up with trainer-collegues, where my visualization is an asset to

- clarify the information,
- address underlying questions, and

- to anchor the insights (in an artwork).

In my experience a drawing is the visible beginning of effective change.

It works well to:

•  Understand complex information in one instant
•  Strengthen the capacity of a team,
•  Develop a vision or mission
•  Create ownership and support co-creation

I can help to (re-)gain pleasure and confidence in drawing by teaching teams a basic iconography which can be applied in business settings.

As a certified Scrummaster and lecturer in Design Thinking and CPS, I frequently use visual techniques to support these proces methods, because they

•  stimulate imagination,
•  improve collaboration and
•  enhance the creative climate.

Besides that, it’s fun!

Client portfolio contains:

Management teams in business and higher education, municipalities, non- profit organisations, start-ups, and commercial clients like AKZO-Nobel and GasTerra.

I hold a MSc in Creativity and Change Leadership from the International Center for Studies in Creativity (ICSC) Buffalo, NY and work as visual designer for the Academy for Creative Leadership and COCD in Amsterdam.

"Nicolette is a true all round creative who can turn her hand to most forms of design and illustration. I am always impressed by her versatility not only on the creative front but also the ease with which she adopts new technologies to enhance her illustration work. I have used Nicolette's unique illustration style on many occasions and with great success. She is a pleasure to work with and her contributions have enhanced many a project."
