About Brandy Agerbeck

Visual Thinking Expert | Author | Speaker | Graphic Facilitator

Brandy Agerbeck has spent nearly 30 years making thinking visible.

She draws out ideas — literally — helping individuals and organizations:

wrangle complex ideas
map out what's really going on
and make sharper decisions

She's a world-class graphic facilitator, a master teacher, and the author of two books that have become go-to resources in the field.

Whether she's drawing for your team in the room or teaching you how to pick up the pen yourself, Brandy makes the intangible tangible.

Illustration by Geoffrey Nelson depicting Brandy Agerbeck as the 'godmother of visual practice,' like a chartreuse version of Glenda the good witch with an asterisk-topped wand in one hand, and a rainbow of markers in the other. Around her full, ballgown skirt says "Drawing as a Verb."

"We were having a conversation in the office about Fathers of institutions vs. Godfathers. George Washington is the "father of our country" but James Brown is the "godfather of soul"?

We decided that the parent represents the genesis, but the godparent represents the protector of the spirit, the guide, the shaper. So now, when we introduce you and your ideas to new people, we say "Brandy Agerbeck is the godmother of visual practice."

They seem to get it."

Geoffrey Nelson, M Ed

Shape Your Thinking

Drawing is not a talent. It's a learnable skill.

And it will change how you think.

Brandy has been putting pen to paper since she was a kid.

But her life's work isn't about being a good artist — it's about the power of getting your ideas out of your head and onto paper where you can actually do something with them.

Visual thinking helps you organize your thoughts, solve problems in new ways, communicate with clarity, and make better decisions.

It's not mysterious. It's not reserved for "creative types."

It's a practical skill set with real applications — and Brandy has spent her career making it accessible to everyone.
