visualist

Aesthetic over substance

A visualist is someone who thinks, creates, or processes information primarily through visual means.

The term appears in creative fields for artists who work with visual media, particularly those creating live visuals for music performances or events.

In cognitive contexts, it describes people who learn or remember best through images rather than words or sounds: As a visualist, she preferred diagrams to lectures.
