In 2024, Jessamy continued her mission to build the next generation of visual thinkers – working closely with schools and the education sector to unlock new ways of thinking and learning through visual thinking and communication with Vivid Learning Academy.

Since launching Think in Colour in 2011, Jessamy has become internationally renowned for her work, and has serviced a diverse range of clients all around Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, Asia, the United States and Europe across the corporate, community, education and government sectors.

In 2025, Jessamy’s expertise and contribution to her industry were recognised by being the first person in Australia and seventh globally to become an IFVP Institute Certified® Master Visual Practitioner.

“Jessamy does with colorful markers what Yo-Yo Ma does with a cello and Julia Childs did with butter. How she managed to get every point so clearly still amazes me today.” Ron Kaufman, NY Times Best Selling Author and Speaker
