Chrissie Bonner uses illustration to tell stories, to inspire, to challenge, to help people connect, and to have fun. She believes that creative environments cost nothing, and foster true innovation and happier people.
Originally from Norfolk, VA, she moved to Philadelphia, PA in 1999 to pursue her dream of growing dreadlocks and taking the subway. In doing so she also studied Art History at Temple University, Arts Administration at Drexel University, and Organizational Development and Leadership at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
She applied her education and interests to a career in institutional philanthropy and capacity-building for nonprofit organizations from 2007 to 2015.
She still lives in Philadelphia and enjoys her work as the Principal and Founder of Illustrating Progress, a dynamic and growing graphic facilitation consulting practice. Chrissie can be reached at chrissie@illustratingprogress.com.
