Want your audience to still be talking about it weeks later—and sharing it on social media? Graphic recording is a great way to make your event unforgettable.
No matter the topic, graphic recording brings your content to life. As speakers present and ideas unfold, a visual story is created in front of your audience. It’s fun, attention-grabbing, and incredibly effective at making complex ideas more memorable.
Even better? After the event, you’ll get a high-quality image of the artwork to share with attendees—a creative, lasting reminder of what they learned and experienced.
These illustrations often include a touch of humour too, which helps your message land—and puts a smile on everyone’s face. And when people see creativity in action, it sparks their own energy and imagination. Your audience leaves inspired, not just informed.

Are you a visual learner? Live scribing is a great way to make your event have an impact on your audience. Opinions, stories and light bulb moments are captured and remembered for you and your attendees long after the event has passed.
Here's an excerpt from a podcast interview on art where I talked about live scribing;
"I think a good live-scribing artist needs to be present and adapt quickly to the visuals. If I spend too long on one drawing, a speaker might have moved on to a new subject by the time I'm done. Writing down keywords is good, but not too many. The goal is to find a balance of words and pictures to summarise the theme of what is happening at the time."
"There's a graphic design shorthand at work. I'm connecting what speakers are saying with images associated by their subject. I also like adding appropriate humour to visuals. Just my opinion, I think with more serious topics using a little light humour can help with how people engage with sensitive subjects."
"Responses are always very positive. Attendees are often encouraged to photo the art and share it across their social media. It's a great way for them to remember the event and what was covered, but also increased the engagement and reach of the event as a whole."

As an illustrator, I'm naturally curious. I've created visuals on diverse topics such as wellbeing, fitness, and the dilemmas faced by those in the firefighting service. My favourite so far has probably been a talk on obesity by Dr Giles Yeo.
