About
Timothy Foss
CEO | Visual Storyteller
I’ve been a professional graphic recorder for ten years. Before that, I spent fifteen years selling art, earning a master’s degree, teaching, and even winning some prestigious grants and awards. But something was missing. My ideas felt stuck—like I was running in creative circles.
Then, I made my first live drawing during a conversation. It wasn’t exactly a masterpiece, but the energy in the room was electric. I left buzzing. Graphic recording wasn’t just about making art—it was about listening, translating, and unlocking new ways of thinking. Suddenly, I wasn’t just creating for myself; I was helping others see their ideas more clearly.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve worked with hundreds of amazing clients. I think like an artist but focus on what brings color and energy to my clients’ ideas. I bring fresh analogies to their conversations. One participant said, “This is what listening LOOKS like!” That stuck with me. Turns out, when you’re discussing difficult problems with more than one perspective, art helps to hold it all—it keeps minds open and ideas flowing.
In other words, even when clarity feels out of reach, my artwork gives people a way to revisit ideas and find insights over time. I truly love providing this opportunity to people. Here are some of my favorite projects with you. Thanks for stopping by!
