James Durno – Visual Communicator & Graphic Recorder

James is one of my favourite people to collaborate with: creative, fun, professional, kind … a wonderful human all round.

I am always amazed at his ability to translate complex concepts into simple (but not simplistic) visuals.
I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I’ve worked with James on multiple projects, and he is an incredible storyteller. The way he can visualise these stories is truly a gift.

For more than a decade, I've had the privilege of collaborating with James as my co-facilitator. His expertise in visual facilitation has consistently enriched our group processes, bringing clarity and creativity to every session. James has an extraordinary ability to cultivate an environment where all voices feel welcomed and valued. He's not just a facilitator—he's a maestro and a remarkable collaborator who consistently enhances the quality of every project we undertake together.

A fantastic talent to work with. I will always appreciate the intentional and thoughtful way you worked to turn our ideas into art. Thanks so much James Durno!

James is an expert strategic visual communicator. He has immense knowledge (of his field and general) and experience in the corporate and development sectors. He is a great asset to any project.

James' huge energy and passion for what he does is only surpassed by his Endless Possibility Well (EPW). Unlike the Infinite Improbability Drive which can transport a spaceship across the galaxy in a mere nothingth of a second, James' EPW drives innovation and usefulness through him and into various client contexts, wherein he never fails to impress!

James has an incredible natural talent to interpret conversations into powerful image depictions. What stood out for me is how quickly James was able to understand the brief and delivered exceptional visual memories of our Africa Summit event last week.

Our organization used James to visually capture the most pertinent contents of our sessions during one of our conferences. I was blown away, not only by his artistic talent but his ability to so easily capture an important concept and translate it into an amazing visual product. I also appreciated the fact that James is punctual, adaptable to change and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend James.

James is a master visual communicator! There is no topic that he cannot interpret and present in the most entertaining, memorable, impactful and understandable way. I had the privilege of seeing him at work and I will never forget how the excitement built as our team talked and explained while he turned our words into pictures. Effective communication creates mutual understanding and there's no risk of ambiguity when James has turned a plan into a picture.
