About

Connecting Change Makers, Leaders and Creators

We Are Imaginal was founded in 2018 by Lucy Nolan in order to build a network of passionate thought-leaders and connect them with communities and businesses for transformational change.

Building on 15+ years of product development and digital marketing experience, Lucy helps clients with their product and digital strategy specialising in the implementation of end-to-end solutions.

Why IMAGINAL?

The name for the business is inspired by imaginal cells that are responsible for the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly. These incredible cells start out as individual cells that cluster together within a chrysalis. As they reach critical mass, a metamorphosis takes place and the new form evolves as a butterfly.

Creating the new

The old structures we see in politics, corporations and educational institutes, no longer offer the same level of security and stability that they once did.
As individuals, we need to come together to support each other in times of change by creating new structures of support that allow for to people adapt.

CREATivity and CONNECTIVITY

During times of change, in order to operate at our highest potential, we not only need to be comfortable with adapting but we will need the ability to make connections that haven’t been made before.We believe that by empowering and championing diversity in everything we do, will lead to this creativity and growth through the sharing of ideas and experience.
