It depends! Digital visual notes are great for events with big audiences because you can project them large enough for everyone to see. They are also useful for brainstorming sessions with a lot of ideation.

Analog visual notes are ideal when you want a more tangible experience–I work on large sheets of paper – typically 4’ in height and 6’ to 8’ in length. Analog visual notes work best at the front near the speaker so participants can see what’s being drawn.

I will bring our my supplies – this includes paper, specialty markers and tape. Taping paper to the wall on the side or back of the room is the most reliable option but sometimes the logistics don’t allow for that. Depending on the space I might require easels and insulation boards to provide a smooth area to draw on.

Receiving a presentation ahead of time is helpful for me to understand complex themes, or acronyms within your topics. In addition, having an agenda let’s me plan the flow and how many boards I may make.

I believe the best visual communication happens when we make space for learning, play, and discovery. My background as a teaching artist shapes how I work. I'm not just capturing what's said, I'm helping people see their ideas in new ways.

Whether I'm graphic recording an executive retreat or leading a papier-mache workshop, I bring curiosity, warmth, and a commitment to making visual thinking accessible to everyone.

From nonprofits to classrooms, I prioritize work that serves educators and change makers.

I work across traditional and digital media, always eager to explore new tools and techniques.
