I’m Sophie Thiebaut. And I believe serious people get better when they dare to play.

Pigment started twenty years ago as a design and marketing freelance practice. Over the years it evolved alongside me — through interim management, an MBA, and international programmes. From creative studio to something harder to put in a box: a platform where creativity and serious work reinforce each other.

After 25 years of professional experience, I’ve seen over and over again that the people who handle pressure best are not the ones who grind harder. They’re the ones who haven’t lost the ability to play — who keep an open mind and try something without knowing if it’ll work.

That’s what Pigment is about. Not soft skills. Not team-building games. A genuine belief — backed by research, lived experience and a lot of bad jokes — that playfulness is the most underused tool serious people have.

What I do:

• Keynotes on creativity, visual thinking and playful experimentation
• Challenges for professionals
• A blog full of practical insights — no hollow inspiration
