What our clients say

‘Starting from a strong workshop design to a very agile and flexible workshop moderation and illustration, and most importantly ending on great results on both occasions. Big recommendation from my side.’
‘We have done multiple projects with Inky Thinking and all the outcomes have been exceptional! You won't see such targeted visionary boards anywhere else. They are pieces of art. Thank you, Tom and Jen.’
‘We had the pleasure of having Felipe be our illustrator capturing our End of Year Event. He produced such amazing work that perfectly captured our event. The illustrations were detailed and comprehensive. Massive thank you to the Team at Inky Thinking.’
‘Tom and Fiona were absolutely brilliant. The work they did for us really lifted our conference, it was a real focal point and our delegates were all talking about it during and after the event.’
‘Great communication leading into the event. Fabulous support during and after. Loved the digital artwork. We will definitely learn from the experience and use again.’
‘Inky Thinking did a graphic drawing at our January Company Meeting and the outcome was incredible!’
