As the Founder of The Visual Storytelling Company, Chin Jun Han is on a mission to make ideas easier to understand, remember, and share.
A self-taught visual communicator with a background in psychology, B2B sales, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Jun Han simplifies complex concepts through hand-drawn storytelling—empowering entrepreneurs, educators, and changemakers to stand out in an attention-scarce world.
In this SG60 Showcase feature, Jun Han reveals how his work is building communication skills for the future, why visual thinking matters now more than ever, and how even non-artists can express ideas in powerful ways.
Highlights
Turning Ideas into Impact
Q: Jun Han, tell us about a specific initiative you’ve led that’s contributed to Singapore’s development.
A: My work centers on helping individuals—especially educators, students, and entrepreneurs—think clearly and communicate confidently using visuals. Since 2021, I’ve supported small businesses, solo founders, and educators by transforming their messages into clear, intuitive hand-drawn illustrations that resonate.
For example, I partnered with the National Institute of Education (NIE) to share how visual thinking enhances learning and spoke at Peiying Primary School to help graduating students explore creative careers. I’ve also worked with training and leadership professionals like Yeo Chuen Chuen and contributed visual storytelling to events such as the APSS 2025 Convention.
Q: How does your visual work connect to national goals like innovation or global competitiveness?
A: Singapore thrives on expertise. But as the world speeds up, our messages must cut through faster and stick better. That’s where visual communication plays a crucial role. I help people distill their thinking, so they not only say smart things but also express them in ways that are memorable and shareable.
Clarity is a form of leadership. In business, education, and public life, that clarity builds influence.
Teaching the Art of Clarity
Q: What does your signature program teach, and who is it for?
A: My most popular session, “Visual Storytelling for Impactful Communication,” helps people simplify complex ideas and communicate with clarity and emotional resonance. It’s especially useful for speakers, marketers, startup founders, and trainers.
I walk participants through real examples—from viral visuals on social media to commissioned corporate work—and show how to translate abstract ideas into visuals that make people pause, understand, and act. Many leave not just with a new toolset, but a shift in mindset: “I can do this.”
Q: You’re relatively new in this field—what impact have you seen so far?
A: I may be early in my speaking career, but my visuals have already been shared by global names like Steven Bartlett, Jim Kwik, and Ali Abdaal. My clients—like Theorem Digital and Lundbeck—have used my work in campaigns, presentations, and strategy decks that reach global markets.
What I do isn’t just drawing—it’s communication design. And it’s helping people be seen, understood, and remembered.
Making Visual Expression Accessible
Q: What sets you apart from other communication trainers?
A: I start by dissolving the belief that you need to be “creative” or “artistic” to use visuals. I show, then teach, how it’s really about thinking differently, not drawing perfectly. As a result, many participants have told me I helped them unlock a part of themselves they didn’t know was stuck.
I anticipate what holds people back—like silent self-doubt—and create space for confidence to grow. I combine mindset coaching with visual techniques. The result? People leave not just with skills, but permission to express themselves more freely.
Final Thoughts: Making Clarity a Creative Superpower
Chin Jun Han’s journey isn’t just about illustration—it’s about illumination. In a world overflowing with noise, his gift lies in helping people cut through with clarity, creativity, and calm. Whether it’s guiding entrepreneurs, supporting educators, or amplifying ideas online, his hand-drawn visuals empower others to think deeply, communicate boldly, and lead with purpose.
Jun Han reminds us that influence doesn’t always roar—it often draws. Through simple lines and powerful ideas, he’s helping shape a more expressive, emotionally intelligent Singapore—one that doesn’t just know more, but connects more.
