What is Graphic Recording?

Good question! Graphic recording (also known as visual note-taking) is a visual communication tool used for capturing live content in an visual format. As a graphic recorder, I turn real-time talks and presentations into interactive and memorable visual summaries of your event's key takeaways.

    How It Works

    • Pre-Event Consultation: We'll discuss your event objectives, audience, and key themes to ensure the visual recording aligns perfectly with your goals. I'll provide setup requirements and coordinate logistics.


    • Live Recording: Our artist arrives early to set up, then actively listens and translates your event content into visual format in real-time. Participants can watch the visual story unfold throughout your event.


    • Delivery & Follow-up: You receive high-resolution digital files of all visuals for immediate sharing. Physical boards can be displayed at your venue or shipped to your office as permanent artifacts.
