Sunni (Sun) Brown is a social entrepreneur who uses visual + collaboration literacy, design thinking and applied gamification to solve complex problems. Formerly Innovator-in-Residence @MURAL and currently Strategic Advisor, in 2014 she started a global conversation around visual literacy called The Doodle Revolution (based on an acclaimed book of the same name), which was a sequel to the bestseller Gamestorming. Sun is the founder of creative consultancy Sunni Brown Ink and the Center for Deep Self Design in Austin, TX. She was named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” and one of the “10 Most Creative People on Twitter” by Fast Company. Her TED talk has drawn over 1.6 million views and her work on visual thinking has been featured in every major U.S. publication including The New York Times, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, WIRED, and Entrepreneur, as well as being featured twice on CBS Sunday Morning and on The TODAY Show.
Sun’s two globally-beloved books—Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers and Changemakers, and The Doodle Revolution: Unlock the Power to Think Differently—have been translated into 25 languages and counting, and she’s working on Gamestorming 2.0 for remote and hybrid environments. She is one of the educators widely credited with the rise of visual thinking as a tool for deeper inquiry and is designing a system of visual Collaboration Literacy for remote and hybrid teams.
As a facilitator, Sun and her team have designed and led hundreds of group experiences in diverse industries, and CDSD reflects her evolution after more than a decade of interactive, facilitative work. Drawing on her expertise in creatively solving external challenges in business, Sun turned her attention toward supporting writers and speakers in meeting internal challenges as they approach the page and the stage. She is crafting a method of inner science called Deep Self Design™, which will be featured in a fourth book, part-memoir, part how-to.
