About Alexia Leibbrandt
Graphic facilitation & creative coaching
Bilingual graphic facilitator
I am a senior graphic facilitator based in Paris and one of the early pioneers of live scribing in France. Over the past twelve years, I have supported internationaly, leaders, teams and organisations in more than 400 live scribing sessions for strategy, innovation and transformation.
With Eswatini and Russian roots, I grew up in a strongly international environment, in a family shaped by movement, languages and cultural diversity. My mother worked for UNESCO, and from an early age I was surrounded by different ways of speaking, thinking and seeing the world. This multicultural background still shapes the way I listen, interpret and guide groups today.

My journey
I discovered graphic facilitation at a turning point in my life.
This practice brought together everything I loved: creativity, curiosity, psychology, teamwork and drawing.
Within just a few months, it became a recognized area of expertise.
Today, I offer graphic facilitation trainings in and support facilitators leaders and teams in different countries around the world.

Multidisciplinary foundations behind my visual practice
Before becoming a graphic facilitator, I moved through several creative and analytical worlds.
Journalism taught me to listen without rushing, to follow invisible threads in messy conversations, and to turn complex dialogues into clear, meaningful narratives.
Editing teached me to always check information and sources and the good use of titles to help information hierarchy.
Graphic design gave me an eye for form, hierarchy and visual impact. Building websites trained me in structure, navigation and clarity and tought me to play with image, sound and animation apps.
Translation between French and English sharpened my sense for nuance, intention and subtle shifts in meaning.
All these disciplines naturally converged into my visual practice. Today, I don’t just « draw » conversations. I extract their deeper structure. I make the invisible visible. And I turn fleeting moments into strategic visual maps that teams can share, revisit and act upon.
A fast, sensitive and neurodivergent way of thinking
I’m neurodivergent myself. A mild form of ADHD and a light dyslexia shape the way my mind processes the world. Nothing dramatic – simply a brain that notices too much, too quickly, too deeply. A mind that thinks in images, patterns and branching associations.
This way of perceiving things deeply influences my work and naturally brought me to graphic facilitation. I pick up implicit ideas, subtle signals and emotional undercurrents in a room. I sense the contradictions, the intuitions and the quiet truths that sit between the words. And I translate all of this into live visuals that reveal the real movement of a group, not just a transcript of what was said.

An international and human approach
I use an intuitive, inclusive approach that combines strategic scribing, visual storytelling and creative AI as an amplifier, never as a replacement for human judgment.
I work in French and English for clients in France and abroad.
My style combines professional precision visual clarity and multicultural creativity.
Each project is a human encounter – a co-creation between your vision and my line.
My workshops and trainings
Making collective thinking visible
To meet the needs of companies large organizations and women leaders, I design tailor-made workshops to develop multi-level listening skills and to facilitate change through powerful visual notes.
I also create workshops combining drawing voice and creativity,
helping teams communicate better, solve problems, and dream big together.
My approach is grounded in clarity simplicity and visual impact and is perfectly adapted to neuroatypical profiles.
