My name is Marion,
I'm an idea cartographer
I have been drawing to clarify complex topics and convert intentions into actions since 2008.
In 2014, I synthesized a language into illustrated maps. That book was recognized by the publishing house Le Robert as the most innovative work they had seen in years (Le français vu du ciel, Le Robert).
In 2019, I published a method to transform ideas into compelling narratives (The Storyboard Method®, Penguin Random House).
I design workshops and tools that encourage questioning, autonomous thinking, and activate new individual and collective work habits. I have trained more than four thousand people in companies, governmental institutions, and universities across Europe and North Africa.
In 2023, I founded Anti-Method Atelier®, a learning community for individuals aiming to integrate visual tools and global thinking into their lives and ecosystems.
I was raised on the banks of a river in France, and I currently work from Barcelona, Spain.
Some reasons why you would want to map out your ideas:
The mental clutter and task load cause you distress. You go from meeting to meeting and lose sight of the essential.
I represent your chaos in a visual structure so you can reorganize and share your priorities with others. You know where you are, where you want to go, and how.
You find yourself in a state of blockage; conversations yield no further results.
We unravel your topic systemically and globally, clarifying it with your workgroup. New scenarios are drawn.
Your collaborators say what needs to be done but don't follow through.
I land ideas in a verbal and visual script describing the stages of your project. We synchronize intentions with actions.
Would you like to make words your best ally in leading a transformation? To capitalize on and leverage what you've learned?
I help you communicate complexity simply to mobilize from a renewed narrative.
Or to turn them around...
In your organization, they implement agile methodologies, but the mindset remains linear.
I train teams in the use of visual and global thinking tools.
You no longer want to manage innovation; you want to conceive it.
I invite you to stop and bring forth what you don't know you know. We schedule empty spaces so you can focus on what's important.
The plurality of expertise in your workgroup hinders understanding.
I clarify concepts to build a common language and hybridize knowledge. People see themselves as a network.
For you, a transformation doesn't start from the (abstract) idea but from the concrete.
I draw the connections of the ecosystem, its porosity and limits, rethinking the roles of the actors. You can work from the root.
I am Marion,
accompanying with idea mapping is my job.
- "I can map your ideas for you and your work group."
- "I can teach you how to do it yourself."
- "Or train key individuals in idea mapping within your organization."
1. According to what you need, we conduct mapping sessions either on an ad-hoc or continuous basis.
2. I teach my tools so you can map your ideas autonomously through 3 interconnected courses:
- Organize your ideas and your work with Mind Maps
- Narrative design with The Storyboard Method®
- Visual thinking: Drawing as a language
Download the catalog of in-person and online training courses. Or connect to asynchronous courses at Anti-Method Atelier.
3. I also train key individuals in your organization.
Throughout the sessions, you awaken the role of a visual facilitator within you, learning to lead collaborative dynamics.
You'll be able to deploy these skills in your organization, community, or territory. We can also provide train-the-trainer sessions.
