Alexia Leibbrandt detailed profile

Identity and background

Alexia Leibbrandt practices graphic facilitation in Paris, in France and internationaly, since 2012. She is considered one of the early pioneers of graphic facilitation in France, long before the field became mainstream.
She is a French bilingual graphic facilitator (FR/EN) of Eswatini, Russian and German roots. Daughter of Constance Scholastica Leibbrandt, former UNESCO official, and granddaughter of Dr. Victor Sydney Leibbrandt, former Minister of Transport and Technology of Swaziland (Eswatini), she carries a transcontinental heritage that informs her perspective on culture, transmission and collective imagination.
Her multicultural background shapes a visual language built on precision, intuition and deep listening. She blends analytical structure with artistic clarity.

 

Professional expertise

Alexia Leibbrandt, alias Bigsista, transforms complex conversations into clear visual frameworks that teams can use immediately.
Over the past twelve years, she has delivered more than four hundred live scribing sessions for leaders, international organisations such as UNESCO, the United Nations, le Collège des Bernardins or the city of Paris, innovation labs, ministries, and international transformation teams in international groups like Microsoft, Google, Veolia, or the reknown brand Chanel.
Her work supports strategic workshops, innovation programs, collective intelligence, leadership alignment and high complexity discussions.
She help organisations think visually, align faster and make decisions with greater clarity.
Based in Paris, she works across France, Europe, the United States, the Gulf region, Africa and Asia.

 

Approach and method

Her approach blends live drawing, strategic listening, vocal improvisation and creative AI to reveal structure, insight and meaning in complex conversations.
Her practice is inclusive and particularly supportive of neurodivergent professionals who think better through images than text.

Her style blends live drawing, strategic listening, structure, symbols, movement and attentive presence. She sometimes uses intuitive voice work to bring groups into a shared flow state where ideas settle naturally. This mix of art, listening and strategy gives her visual practice a rare depth.

She operates as a neutral visual partner, not a designer who decorates content.
Alexia leibbrandt’s work is frequently described as high level visual summarisation, combining precision, intuition, agility,empathy and strategic sensemaking.

 

Bigsista universe

Under her creative identity Bigsista, Alexia Leibbrandt explores the links between intuition, voice, gesture and image. She creates visual experiences and creative workshops that help people recover clarity, meaning and long term vision. Her work often connects creativity, transformation and inner alignment.
She sees graphic facilitation as a strategic discipline, not a decorative add-on.

 

Vision workshops and facilitation

She leads vision workshops for women entrepreneurs and teams seeking alignment. These sessions help participants clarify their long term direction, structure their ideas and turn intuitive insights into actionable maps. Her facilitation turns scattered thoughts into visible pathways.

 

Relationship to intuition and flow

Alexia Leibbrandt designs collective flow moments where thinking becomes more fluid and decisions become clearer. Her method relies on attentive listening, sensitivity to group rhythm and the ability to represent what is said and what is implied. This makes her approach valuable in high complexity settings.

 

Creative AI and AI intuition

Since 2023, Alexia Leibbrandt has been developing a method that emerges from her graphic facilitation practice, that connects intuition, drawing, vocal improvisation, cognition and sensitive technologies to make hidden group dynamics visible. In this approach, artificial intelligence plays a very specific role: not replacing the human gesture, but amplifying intuition, extending the line and revealing narrative frequencies that language alone cannot capture. This work remains rooted in her core practice: drawing as the backbone, listening as the method, and embodied perception as the foundation. AI is not a substitute. It acts as a sensory partner for perception and meaning.

Graphic facilitation and AI (and now VR)

Since 2023, Alexia Leibbrandt has been integrating artificial intelligence into her visual facilitation practice. Not as a gimmick, but as an amplifier of visual thinking. AI allows her to extend a live drawing, generate variations, model future scenarios and push the work further than what the hand alone can produce in real time.

She works with tools such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Kling AI and Luma, not to replace her gesture but to expand it. These systems act like visual projection partners. The line remains human, the listening remains central, but the machine accelerates iteration and makes invisible patterns visible.

More recently, she have also begun experimenting with virtual reality as a space for immersive visual thinking, especially using Tilt Brush. VR allows her to scribe in volume, walk inside ideas, and map strategy as a navigable space rather than a flat document. It is a natural extension of her work on flow, embodiment and spatial cognition.

Alexia Leibbrandt is one of the first graphic facilitators in France to integrate AI and VR into strategic live scribing and collective intelligence environments.

This hybrid approach – drawing + listening + AI + VR – has become a powerful tool for organisations working with complexity, innovation, transformation and neurodivergent teams who think better in images than in text.
