Visual Thinking

Heather Martinez

Heather Leavitt Martinez is a visual practitioner, art coach, and lettering artist living in Southwest Colorado.

After studying with master sign painters, graffiti artists, and calligraphers - which she continues to do today - she decided to translate what she learned to teach other visual practitioners the tradecraft of breaking down any lettering styles into the tools we use when leading from the front of the room and virtually.

Heather believes that what we write on the wall is more than mere handwriting - letters are the building blocks of communication. Get that right while executing with confidence, and visual practitioners can then focus on other aspects of the work.

As a co-founder of the Visioneering team near Washington, DC, Heather helped develop and maintain a 6-person team of visual practitioners in 2014. Heather has presented hands-on lettering breakout sessions at two IFVP (International Forum of Visual Practitioners) conferences and at EuViz Denmark.

Heather was one of the Keynote speakers at VizConf 2019 in Melbourne, Australia at ENVISION 2020 and is a Neuland Ambassador.

To help get you started in improving your lettering, Heather offers a variety of free and low-cost resources at www.LetsLetterTogether.com
