Sketch Noting & Graphic Recording

Sketch Noting and Graphic Recording are two powerful methods for capturing spoken ideas in real time — combining words and drawings to distil complex information down to what really matters. Sketchnotes are personal and compact: a sheet of paper or an iPad, drawn as you listen. Graphic recordings are large-format and live, created on whiteboards or flipcharts so an entire room can follow along. Both leave you with something a page of bullet points never could — a visual record that makes ideas stick.

I discovered Sketch Noting because I needed it. At school and again at university, I struggled to stay focused — until I found that drawing what I was hearing kept my hand moving and my brain engaged. It changed how I learn. I went deep enough to create The Art of Sketch Noting — a YouTube video series teaching the method from scratch — and produced a companion workbook alongside my bachelor thesis. When you understand something well enough to teach it, you understand it well enough to do it under pressure, in real time, in front of a room full of people.

I've done exactly that. I've captured live talks at Urania Berlin on large-format flipcharts, created visual notes during my internship at Universal Music, and run workshops teaching others the craft. I work analog and digital, at any scale. If you'd like your next event, talk, or workshop captured in a way your audience will actually remember, get in touch.

Graphic Recording

Graphic Recording is live visual note-taking on a large scale — drawn in real time on flipcharts, whiteboards, or digitally on an iPad projected onto a screen. As a talk or workshop unfolds, ideas, themes, and connections are captured as a single visual overview that the whole room can see. What makes it powerful is what happens after: people gravitate towards it, photograph it, share it. It sparks conversations between attendees who might not have spoken otherwise, and carries the ideas of the event far beyond the room. If you work in social sectors, psychology, education, or any field where complex ideas need to land clearly and stick — Graphic Recording can make that happen.

Sketch Noting

Sketch Noting is the practice of capturing ideas through a combination of words and drawings — not to transcribe everything, but to find the essence of what you're hearing or thinking and make it visual. It's a tool for understanding complex topics, summarising your own thoughts, journalling, or drafting ideas in a way that a blank page of text never quite allows. It's also something anyone can learn. I created The Art of Sketchnoting — a free YouTube series — specifically to teach the method from scratch, because I believe it's one of the most underrated tools for thinking more clearly.
