EMILY SHEPARD,
GRAPHIC FACILITATOR AND ILLUSTRATOR

Emily Shepard brings more than twenty years of experience in the visual communication field to her work. Her background as a graphic designer gives her ability to:

• Translate organizational issues and concerns into visually based images and metaphors.
• Continually organize a discussion so that the finished product provides increased clarity and focus to the group.
• Quickly design chart formats and templates during meetings when the process design needs to change on-the-fly.

Emily also creates information graphics for organizations’ murals, timelines or strategic illustrations that present complex information in an accessible and engaging format. These “learning maps” can help individuals or groups understand and contextualize ideas and key concepts. Often these charts relate to a company or group’s history, vision or strategy.  Like Jennifer, Emily has been part of the Focused Momentum® core team for 15 years.

She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont and an M.F.A. from California College of the Arts in Oakland in California.
