Mark Olivier Manager, Employee Engagement HR, Air CanadaWorking with Disa and the team at Thinklink graphics felt less like a typical vendor/client relationship and more like a partnership. We all know that when you hire a provider or supplier , that intrinsically there is a desire to please the client (after all we are the customer! ) – But it never felt like that. The Thinklink graphics team was nimble , responsive and generous with great ideas and workarounds and displayed a quick to pick up approach on a topic that was not their subject matter expertise and a request that was far from an ideal minimum threshold to produce in time. With multiple iterations, many sources of input from our stakeholders and the added complexity of creating this bilingually – Thinklink graphics made it all come together with a final product that was cascaded to over 3000 employees – on time, on budget and on point. The reaction was immediately positive and memorable (exactly the results we wanted!). The topic itself was a challenge to make enticing – however the creative end result was polished and well received. It was all in all a great first time experience working with Thinklink graphics.
Nancy L Young BScPT, MSc, PhD Professor of Rural and Northern Health Research Chair in Rural and Northern Children’s HealthErica Bota has helped Aboriginal youth in Ontario to tell the story of their health research. She is an inspiring woman who has an instant connection with youth. I watched her create a graphic story with dozens of coloured markers, but the most impressive part was what happened when she let the children of Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory use the markers with her. Most artists would have been distraught, irate, terrified by this scene; but Erica empowered the youth to make it their own and the result was very special.
Hallie McClelland Director of Advancement, Kingsway College SchoolYou ladies are rock stars! I wish I could promote you to EVERYONE I know.
Michael Houlahan Executive Director, T1 ThinkTank and Sandpile Inc.ThinkLink Graphics has been instrumental to the success of the T1D Think Tank Network (T1DTTN). We are a start up not-for-profit with the task of making ourselves known in a busy Patient -oriented Healthcare environment on behalf of people living with Type 1 Diabetes. The work of Erica Bota, in particular has become almost part of our brand – and a much anticipated key element of all our programming. The listening skills, integration with our members and talent to translate all our Insight Session discussions into meaningful take-aways are an integral part of the event “day of”. Further, the out put from these important conversations have been transformed into usable tools for follow up both as meeting summaries and outcomes related tools such as our “Conversation Guide”. Talented, low maintenance, fast, efficient, professional and real nice people….
Joanna Valsamis, BSc, BEd, MHA(c) Chief Healthcare, Research, & Advocacy Officer Cystic Fibrosis Canada“Liisa is an extremely talented graphic artist and perfectly captured the discussions of our scientific meeting. She blew away our attendees and many of them requested her contact information for their events, even those in the United States and Europe! We have already used the posters she developed at several of our fundraising events and gala dinners. I highly recommend her for your event!”

Liisa Sorsa
Co-Founder | Graphic Facilitator and Digital Artist
Liisa has been a doodler her whole life! From a very young age you could find Liisa curled up in a corner with her markers and paper…drawing a world of her own! Today, she takes those same skills and applies them to drawing out your ideas! Why the two “ii’’s in her name, you ask? Well, it’s Finnish – and her last name means duck in Finn. Quack!
Disa Kauk
Co-Founder, Graphic Facilitator, Video Producer and Operations
Disa has been a graphic recorder since the early 2000’s (unless you count the notes she took in school, then she’s been doing it since the 80’s!) Her style is bright and vibrant just like her! Disa produces our whiteboard animation videos, and keeps us all on track! She LOVES the colour turquoise and I caution you not to get in the way of her light blue markers!
Erica Bota
Graphic Facilitator and Marketing Lead
Erica is a doodle fanatic! She learned the practice of graphic recording while studying in Sweden and hasn’t put her marker down since. Her interests lie in climate change, community engagement, and…well…dogs. When Erica isn’t drawing, she’s outside running with her pup Oli and rock climbing!
Devon Kerslake
Graphic Facilitator
Devon started graphic recording before she knew it had a name! She holds her Masters Degree in Cultural Studies and is fascinated by graphic narratives and comics. When she isn't illustrating or scribing, Devon is making art with her three young boys in Guelph.
