Welcome to our Blog

Welcome to the New Face of Starfish Taylor!

If you haven’t already noticed, the Starfish Taylor brand has gone through a complete overhaul. We have a new logo, a new website, and an awesome new Resources section where will be featuring tips, guides, and other useful content related to effective meetings and workshops.

In the coming months, we will be writing about our experiences in solving complex problems through creative workshops and meetings. Our aim is to build a best-practice resource for companies and people to help them with their own workshops and meetings.

We will cover everything from budgeting and planning your meeting, to choosing the right icebreaker, to external references such as our favorite TedTalks, to managing the environment. And of course our core areas of Design, Facilitation, and Graphical Scribing.
