Why You Should Commission a Graphic Facilitator for Your Next Project

A graphic facilitator does more than just draw what they hear — they help shape the conversation. Working live in workshops, co-creation sessions or community forums, graphic facilitators use drawing as a tool to surface ideas, invite participation, and keep complex conversations accessible and focused.

This approach is especially useful in:

• Multi-stakeholder meetings

• Public engagement events

• Youth or community consultations

• Organisational culture workshops

  
  

As a graphic facilitator, I listen for themes, values and tensions, and represent them clearly in illustrated maps or visual frameworks. These aren’t just pretty pictures — they’re working tools for reflection, decision-making and communication.

If you’re leading a collaborative process and want to ensure everyone feels heard and understood — from policymakers to young people — commissioning a graphic facilitator could support both the process and the outcome.
