“Jenny braves the difficult questions, has a sixth sense for when to change course, and has curated a toolkit of techniques that intuitively challenge participants to yield the greatest impact.”

Listen to Workshops Work Podcast

A great conference, workshop or programme is a work of design. I make sure it is one.

Learning Experience Design

I design programmes, curricula and learning journeys that are felt, not just attended. Drawing on 20+ years of design thinking and L&D practice, I work with organisations and schools to build experiences that create genuine change.
"Jenny is an inspiration to the whole department, contributing to curriculum design and introducing new methods. Bold, driving change with confidence and an open mind.”
– Patrik Hambraeus, Facilitator & Educationalist, Berghs School of Communication
Facilitation & Conference Moderation

I hold rooms — from intimate leadership workshops to 1,400-person keynotes. I create environments where people think better together, known for energy, adaptability, and the ability to make the complex feel alive.
“Jenny created an inclusive environment and was great at keeping the energy high. Quick to adapt, professional in preparation, exceptional on stage. She took initiative that helped us see how to improve the entire conference.”.
— Tommy Marshall, CEO, VASS Xperience & STHLM Xperience Conference
Curatology for Organisations

A structured, human way to explore the invisible forces shaping your culture. Through Company Biennales, C.U.R.I.O. workshops and culture interventions, I help teams surface what they are already carrying — and choose what to carry forward.
“Jenny facilitates with brilliance, patience and accuracy. That combination converts learnings into insights very effectively”.
— Mathias Engstrand, Sports & Entertainment Director, SVT
Creative Events & Experiences

I design and produce experiences that blur the line between art, learning and participation – salons, installations, immersive gatherings, branded cultural events. If you want something that has never quite been done before, this is where we start.
“Jenny is quite simply a force of creative nature. If you need innovative thinking applied to events, programme management, facilitation or curation, Jenny comes highly recommended”.
— Jason Holland, Creative Director & Founder, THE CRM Agency

“Jenny Theolin shakes up creative management in daring new book. Jenny's enthusiasm for facilitation comes across in every aspect of her book. And it's sure to infect the reader with its fun and creative vibes.”

Featured Practice

Every pocket, drawer and company holds a museum.

Curatology is the art and practice of everyday curation – noticing, keeping and sharing what shapes our lives. It begins with a chipped mug, a concert ticket, a ritual repeated in meetings. These are not just things. They are carriers of memory, identity, and experience.

For organisations it surfaces invisible culture. For brands, it reveals the emotional life of your products. For individuals, it is a practice of becoming more intentional about what you carry forward.

Explore Curatology & the C.U.R.I.O method

“Working with Studio Theolin was a very reassuring process. All throughout the journey we got advice on what would work and not, as well as new perspectives and best practice. Communication was easy and the teamwork was a joy since the engagement from Studio Theolin was present all the way towards the goal."
