I'm a Service Designer and Creative Coach with an artistic, graphic and systemic background. With my playful, visual and cocreative approach I support in team, leadership, change and innovation topics, inspire new products and business models and promote personal development. I'm also known as a passionate networker, interviewer, art curator, mentor and sportsman.

As a new work innovator and explorer on an expedition through the world of work you will find me at changing locations – which 2024 was the city of Oslo. Get inspired on my blog.

Thomas Weltner

‘The guy with the yellow sticky notes.’

With my clients you will find me in playful designed environments – for reasons. I deeply believe in creativity as our most valuable resource from childhood on.

That is why I am characterized by a particularly creative and interactive approach to tasks, projects and processes.

play seriously!

To bring this into reality, my coachings and workshops embrace visualizing, building and interacting – in both a co-creative, playful, humorous but likewise serious way.

This is what my clients say:

‘We were able to develop our business from different perspectives, e.g. from the customer’s one. – I’ve got a better understanding of our organisation because I was able to experience it holisticly, tangibly and in motion. – As a team and as employees we all participated equally and individually. We've never done that before.’
