Ben Crothers is on a mission to help as many people as possible think better and solve problems better by drawing better. We're inundated with so much information every day, and visual thinking is becoming more and more crucial to making sense of it all. Simple drawing is a fantastic shortcut to thinking better, and expressing ourselves better.

Ben has been a designer and facilitator for over 20 years, and a teacher of visual communication and facilitation for a good chunk of that time, too. His first book, Presto Sketching: The Magic of Simple Drawing for Brilliant Product Thinking and Design (O'Reilly) has helped loads of people all over the world to increase their visual thinking and sketching confidence. 

Ben lives with his wife and two children in Sydney, Australia. When not drawing, designing or teaching, he's often found at the beach or at the barbecue... or both!
