About SixtyOneEight

Hello!

I'm Brooke, founder of SixtyOneEight.

I founded SixtyOneEight after discovering how creative practices could transform both wellbeing and communication.

I've spent over 20 years in client services in advertising, while always maintaining a creative practice alongside my day job.

This unique position - understanding business strategy while practicing creative disciplines - showed me something important: design thinking isn't just for designers. It's a powerful tool for anyone who needs to communicate complex ideas clearly.

When I faced burnout, I combined traditional wellness approaches with creative activities. The creative activities made a big difference - they didn't feel like another task, but like essential maintenance for an overloaded brain.

I began applying visual thinking principles to work challenges, turning complicated strategies into clear frameworks. The result? Better communication, less confusion, and surprisingly, less stress.

This combination - creative practices for wellbeing and visual thinking for clarity - became the foundation of SixtyOneEight.

Named after the Golden Ratio (1.618), it represents the balance between personal wellbeing and professional excellence. Today, I bring these methods to professionals ready for practical tools that actually work.
