As I had just landed back in Europe, excited to start my new life, I went to see one of my old bosses to announce my availability. Albeit happy to see me back in Europe, he told me: “Mina – you can’t do it all. You need to focus on one thing. That one thing you’re really good at.”

His advice was prompted by the fact that when he asked me the question: “Well what do you do?” I answered: “Well… all things communication.”

In a way, that is the truth. I do have a wide experience in the field and a diversified toolbox to tap into at any moment. But is it commercially sound?

Another friend told me: “Mina – put three boxes in front of you of what you can imagine doing. Give yourself a deadline. Talk to people about your options. And then make your decision and stick with it.”

So I did.

The box that won with an overwhelming majority is: Simply Draw it Big – The European Agency for Live Scribers.

My mission: Eliminate power points and post-it notes. For a less polluted and more efficient workplace.

What we do

We make your life easier by being your or your team’s extended arm and brain. We draw live as a profession. We are creative, structured and fast. We are interpreters and entertainers. We make things clear and fun by drawing.

Why do you need Simply Draw it Big?

1. Because ideas and complex topics should be easy to understand. The best way to understand and learn something new is to activate both sides of the brain. The logical, theoretical left side (in writing) and the emotional, creative right side (in pictures).
2. Because meetings and development workshops should be more efficient and fun both during and after. Forget about post-it notes getting lost or boring word documents. Get everyone on the same picture and make sure everyone has the same understanding by making it visual, simple, big and beautiful. After, you’ll have a grand wall or digital drawings to reference back to. It increases team spirit and feeling of actually being part of the development.
3. Because people, organisations and businesses need help to communicate what really matters in an efficient way. Save time. Save money.

Whether internal or external communication – it deserves to be simple, easy to understand and beautifully crafted.

As we do this for a living, we can support your development projects, decision making process or presentations. We draw while you / the team talk. We create clear, simple, beautiful and long lasting memories.

When do you need us?

You’ll need us for example when it’s time for:

• the monthly strategy meeting and several departments are involved.
• idea generation and multiple people are involved.
• a presentation and you’d like to add an extra element of fun.
• decision making – You have three options in mind of how to move forward and need help to visualize and structure them, to easier see pro’s and con’s.
