I am a PR and online marketing expert with an extensive background in innovation, creativity, business strategy and visual thinking.

I am the publisher and author of  The Mind Mapping Software Blog, the leading website focused on visual thinking tools and strategies. It covers a variety of topics that are focused on the needs of users of mind mapping software, including news, trends, tips and techniques and product reviews. It is also the home to the Mind Mapping Insider membership program, a place where I teach users of mind mapping software to be more productive, creative and effective with these tools.

I have also written Power Tips & Strategies for Mind Mapping Software, which is the definitive guide for business people who want to get the most out of their visual mapping tools. This popular e-book is now in its 3rd edition.

Most recently, I combined my passions (creative thinking and self-development) in a new book, Up Your Impact: 52 Innovative Strategies to Add Value to Your Work.

I founded InnovationTools.com in 2002, which grew to become the largest innovation portal site on the web until it was merged together with InnovationManagement.se in late 2012. I have written extensively on innovation strategy, brainstorming, creativity techniques, creativity software, design thinking and open innovation.

As part of my focus on brainstorming and creative problem-solving techniques, I wrote a book entitled Creativity Hacks: Shortcuts to Help You Crush Your Challenges & Live a Kick-Ass Life. It encourages readers to explore in new places, to make new connections, to dig deeper and discover new insights. It helps readers to seek out new knowledge and sources of inspiration – so they can profit from the opportunities that are all around them.

I am also an amateur photographer, specializing in architectural and scenic photography. I am very passionate about night photography.
