Hallie McClelland Director of Advancement, Kingsway College SchoolYou ladies are rock stars! I wish I could promote you to EVERYONE I know.
Lina Pallotta Director, HealthAchieve and Customer Engagement Health Achieve, OHA“The creative genius of ThinkLink Graphics have helped bring so many of our initiatives to life. From artful masterpieces created in real-time to graphically illustrated videos showcasing our 90 year history – their ideas, patience and dedication to their art is truly spectacular. Liisa creates a real “wow” factor at events with her artistry and ability to engage audiences resulting in an elevated attendee experience. The positive comments and feedback we’ve received from the storyboards and videos are overwhelming and we couldn’t be happier with the results. “
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….
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.
Wendy Wong Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care“Liisa’s visual representation of our meeting was rich in meaning, beautiful and very well received by everyone. We were amazed at how she was able to translate the content into an impressive tapestry that we will treasure for many years to come. I would highly recommend her, as she will surely exceed your expectations!”

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.
