Sunni is the founder of creative consultancy Sunni Brown Ink and more recently founded the Center for Deep Self Design in Austin, TX. She was named one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” and one of the “10 Most Creative People on Twitter” by Fast Company. Her TED talk has drawn over 1.5 million views and her work on visual thinking has been featured in every major U.S. publication including The New York Times, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, WIRED, and Entrepreneur, as well as being featured twice on CBS Sunday Morning and on The TODAY Show.

Sunni’s two globally-beloved books—Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers and Changemakers, and The Doodle Revolution: Unlock the Power to Think Differently—have been translated into 25 languages and counting. She is widely credited with the rise of visual thinking as a tool for deeper inquiry and is working on her third book on the subject, called The Non-Obvious Guide to Doodling at Work, available October of 2020. As a facilitator, Sunni and her team have designed and led hundreds of group experiences in diverse industries, and CDSD reflects her evolution after more than a decade of interactive, facilitative work.

Drawing on her expertise in creatively solving external challenges in business, Sunni turned her attention toward solving universal internal challenges, and crafted a method of inner science called Deep Self Design™, which will be featured in her fourth book, which is part-memoir, part how-to.
