Analog Graphic Recording
You talk, I listen and draw.
It changes the energy in the room and your attendees are engaged!
This is the LIVE visual capture of your event, keynote, or conversation on large paper using images and text. I can use paper and markers or work digitally. The process and results foster engagement, connection, accountability, and clarity as participants can see the graphic recording develop.
Graphic recording creates common understanding and connection through visuals in strategic planning meetings, brainstorming, journey mapping, storytelling, and system mapping.
-
Before your event, we will chat via phone or video to discuss your goals for the meeting, how you plan to use the graphic recordings after the event and clarify any questions about content or format.
Any content (agendas, general context for your gathering, themes, presentations, etc.) you can share ahead of the event will help me do image and content prep so I am ready to listen and draw.
When your first event speaker starts, I start drawing. As a dedicated listener, I capture the essence of the conversation in real time for all to see. This increases engagement and clarity.
Photos of the Illustrations can be uploaded to a conference app, and attendees can view the drawings before or after breaks or at the end of the day.
-
Deliverables:
You will receive the images in JPG and PDF formats.
I typically create one image per speaker or topic/agenda item and can fit approximately 1-1 ½ hours of content on a drawing.
Some ideas for using the graphic recordings:
Upload to conference app
Share with attendees via email
Share via social media or internally
Add to your event summary reports or documents
Insert them in a gallery or add to blog post or website
Print them as postcards, posters, or canvasses for your office
Use them in presentation slide decks
Print on t-shirts, mugs, calendars
-
Share your branding colors, logo, and event agenda or briefing early
Involve me in your event planning – I have lots of ideas on how to use visuals to make your event engaging and interactive
Plan how you will use the graphic recording images and let me know. This may dictate how and what I capture so the output will be most useful to you
Introduce me on the day of your event and let attendees know what I’ll be doing and why (I am happy to introduce myself!)
Tell your attendees how they will get access to the graphic recordings after the event
Plan strategically where and when you display the output during the event
Share the graphic recordings quickly post-event to maintain momentum, and/or have a relevant social media strategy
Consult the list of ideas above for ways to use the graphic recordings
Let me know how I did! I love feedback and learning how I can serve my clients better
Digital Graphic Recording
I love working digitally to graphic record your event while projecting on one or more large screens. Your attendees see what is being created in real-time and the visual summary is easy to share during and after the meeting or event.
Are you hosting a virtual workshop or webinar or gathering your team online to work on your strategic plan? Want to collaborate to bring the meeting to life? Simple! I am experienced at working virtually via a range of platforms to support your virtual events and webinars with visuals. I join remotely and graphic record the meeting digitally.

Any content (agendas, general context for your gathering, themes, presentations, etc.) you can share ahead of the event will help me do image and content prep so I am ready to listen and draw.
I work digitally on an IPad Pro and can project my drawing live by plugging into an existing screen, or using a projector to project onto a screen or white wall. I can also work virtually via a variety of platforms (Zoom, Teams, Webex) to partner on your virtual meetings and webinars.
When your first event speaker starts, I start drawing. As a dedicated listener, I capture the essence of the conversation in real time for all to see. This increases engagement and clarity.
The Illustrations can be uploaded to a conference app, displayed on screens during breaks, or used to refer to before or after breaks or at the end of the day.

Deliverables:
You will receive the images in JPG and PDF formats. An optional output is a timelapse video (mp4) of the drawings as they develop.
I typically create one image per speaker or topic/agenda item and can fit approximately 1-1 ½ hours of content on a drawing.

Strategic Illustrations/Infographics
Need a clear, expressive graphic for a newsletter, website, or social media? How about an engaging agenda or minutes that people actually read? What about a creative way to communicate your guiding principles or strategic plan? Let's talk! I can also create a visual summary from your text-based content or video of a short talk or presentation that has already happened. Use a one-page visual to share your message or content with a wider audience. Let's collaborate to tell your story and communicate your WHY.
The samples below are from strategic illustration projects ranging from guiding principles to capstone projects, community engagement narrative data visualization to conflict resolution processes. Each work is unique. Let’s talk about ways we might collaborate to upift and amplify your project today!
Time Lapse Explainer Videos
Hand-drawn timelapse videos are a great way to communicate your organization’s story or explain a process to a broad audience. Videos are proven to increase engagement on all social media platforms. Why not leverage the power of videos to uplift your message and amplify your impact?
You provide the script and I will storyboard, illustrate, create simple time lapse animation, edit, add voice-over and music and deliver!
Want to see more samples of my work? Right this way.
Conference Solutions
Want to use visuals throughout your conference to increase engagement and connection, and leave your attendees inspired and excited about the experience?
Besides graphic recording keynotes, panel discussions, or breakout sessions, consider using a social listening wall to collect answers to a particular question you want to pose to attendees. What a great way to collect personal and powerful narrative data! Have participants share stories or ideas around a chosen topic or add post-it notes to the board while I draw out their responses in real-time to create a finished artifact to share out at the end of your event.
Visual agendas or hand-drawn workshop templates are also ways to infuse engaging visuals into your next meeting.
Workshops
Visual thinking is a way to bring clarity to complex ideas in a creative way. Using visuals to communicate makes your ideas more memorable and engaging. Adding visual thinking and visual communication tools to your skillset allows you to increase value and efficiency at work and beyond.
Visual thinking workshops are based on the following theories:
-
Dual-Coding Theory:
We process and store visual and verbal or text-based information in two separate, distinct areas of the brain and when we use both, we increase memory and retention...kind of like having two drawers to look in later to find what we need to remember!
-
The Picture Superiority Effect:
We are more likely to remember pictures and images than text and words. We process images immensely faster than text and remember them longer than words.
-
Pattern Recognition:
Our brains seek to create categories and then sort information to make connections. Using images to create a visual vocabulary increases clear communication and innovative solutions.
I deliver engaging, hands-on workshops to help you learn how to practice thinking and communicating visually at school, at work, and in life!
Are you an educator or student? Visual thinking and communication help you practice listening, become adept at synthesizing content and big ideas and increase learning and memory.
Are you a working professional? Visual thinking and communication help you make connections not visible before, communicate complex ideas clearly, and collaborate creatively to align values.
Want to become a visual thinker at work and play?
