About

I am Stéphanie Heckman, a creative professional with an academic background in liberal arts psychology, anthropology, sociology, and an MSc degree in strategic leadership for sustainable development.

I work internationally as an independent graphic recorder, visual facilitator and illustrator. Originally from the Dutch dune coast, I am currently based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

I derive my drive from the tectonic social shifts in ecological awareness, organisational development and social empowerment; our collective response to environmental degradation, detrimental organisational cultures and political polarisation.

In support of these movements, I help people make sense of, remember and share the outcomes of their collective conversations - at conferences, trainings or in the workplace - by translating them into visual summaries that distil the essence of both content and undercurrent.

I work with a wide range of sectors, topics and organisations, but will prioritise work with organisations working to address the climate crisis – on local, regional and international level (e.g. climate science; climate politics & policy; environmental NGOs; and ecological awareness & climate justice initiatives).

In addition, on this website you will also find links to my music, independently released under artists name Soma Saloli, events I have co-organised over the years, and a collection of my travel essays.

Please contact me to discuss your project.
