what we’ll do


I want to become a better sketcher, listener and documenter.

I want to remember key information and have something to share with others after a session.

I'm a big visual learner & I want to remember things more easily.

I want to tell a story very quickly.

I want to learn to effectively communicate visually.

I want to make hard concepts more accessible.


a sketchnote is...Using images, text, diagrams and layout to capture information in order to improve understanding and recall.


why sketchnote?• externalize and clarify ideas• communicate with others• highlight emotional content• share & celebrate


what will youget out of tonight?

• be confident with sketchnoting • use / practice your skills• get feedback and critique• grow & refine your skills
