Finding clarity in today's complex world isn't easy.
Leaders, teams and learners juggle constant change, information overload and the pressure to perform, all while trying to stay connected, confident, and well.
Finding the thread.
When information is messy, minds muddle.
When direction is missing, decisions drift.
When clarity emerges, confidence grows, creativity flows, and collaboration thrives.
That’s where my work begins…
Through creative visual strategies, I help leaders, teams, learners and individuals untangle complexity, spark new thinking and build stronger, more connected communities.
I do this through two core approaches:
SHIFT my signature visual thinking framework, guiding you step-by-step from overwhelm to clarity with practical, people-first tools.
MAPCHAT a dynamic method of live-mapping conversations, helping ideas unfold visibly so reflection, problem-solving and clarity happen naturally.
Visual thinking isn't just what I do, it's how I help people feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward.
How I help…

What people are saying about working with Nicki…
My edutainment company EYEYAH! has worked with Nicki on a couple of occasions and each time it has been a great experience. She was able to visualise a complex stakeholder Roundtable for our tech client. She was flexible with iterations and both client and us were really happy with the final product. She also acted as education consultant on a toolkit we designed for youth online safety. She was able to contribute from the perspective of both a teen and an educator. We consider Nicki a valuable specialist extension to our team and we look forward to working with her again.
Tanya Wilson Chua
Founder & Education Lead EYEYAH!
Nicki's knowledge, expertise and experience produced an incredibly useful "how to study" course for UWCSEA students studying the IBDP. Digging into cognitive science, effective learning strategies and her own research, Nicki made the course fun, engaging and genuinely helpful for hundreds of students, which will turn into thousands in years to come. Her professionalism and flexibility was very much appreciated, and she was (and still is) a valuable partner for the college. Thank you Nicki!

Working with Nicki has been an absolute joy, bringing together visuals to captivate my stories and experiences for a series called 25 Questions for 2025. The project and this whole conversation has got people thinking about the power of combining words and images to engage and spark ideas.
