Hands on and quick
I recommend Visual Thinking to all who looks for another way of presenting your point of view. Most millennials are visual learners.
Simply great explanations of the objectives and steps in the process of doing this task/project/skill. Felt inspired and relieved to have completed this class, will look for more by this Teacher. THX!
I'm a designer, doodler, and digital artist. I spent the past several years consulting for big companies, helping them think through how to visualize data and information in meaningful ways. Now I'm on a mission to get everybody to think visually and untap their creative talents.
