STORYMIND
The art of finding solutions
Most people think creativity is about making things.
It's about finding solutions.
Storymind is where I explore how creativity helps us solve problems, generate ideas, and see things differently.
WHAT IS STORYMIND?
Storymind is my collection of exercises, tools, and ideas designed to help people think more creatively and solve problems differently.
The exercises are inspired by techniques I’ve learned through improv comedy, songwriting, storytelling, marketing, and years of facilitating workshops with teams and organizations.
At its core, Storymind is based on a simple belief:
Creativity is a skill that can be practiced.
Whether you’re writing a song, building a business, leading a team, launching a product, or trying to solve a difficult problem, the same creative thinking skills apply.
EXERCISES
Creative prompts and activities designed to help you generate ideas, break patterns, and see problems from new angles.
IDEAS
Essays, observations, and lessons from music, improv, marketing, storytelling, and creative work.
WORK WITH ME
Workshops, facilitation, speaking, and creative problem solving for teams looking for fresh perspectives.
WHAT I MEAN BY CREATIVITY
Creativity isn't artistic talent.
Creativity is problem solving.
It’s taking what you have and finding unexpected ways to use it.
It’s connecting things that don’t seem related.
It’s asking better questions.
It’s staying curious when the answer isn’t obvious.
It’s a way of thinking you can use in every part of your life.
THE WRONG ANSWER EXERCISE
Comfort in Chaos
We can’t control chaos, but we can train our minds to make sense of it and find a way forward.
Why it matters
Tolerating Bad Ideas
Bad ideas are part of the process.
The more willing you are to create them, the more likely you are to discover good ones.
Finding Unexpected Solutions
Creative thinking helps you see possibilities others miss and solve problems in new and useful ways.
