What are visual notes?
Visual notes are a combination of text and illustration, made live at events. I make these during (and in most cases, a little bit after) many kinds of events, like conferences, workshops and coaching sessions. The collection below are visual summaries that I’ve drawn digitally, while attending offline as well as online meetings. My aim is to provide the participants of these events with a useful and beautiful document about what has been said and done during them. I find that this form of note-taking can make the subject matter more accessible, memorable, and fun.

How can you use visual notes?
A visual about the event is often something nice to share with participants after the event has taken place. Besides the visual summary, I always send my clients a few isolated images from the summary as well. This way, the drawings can be easily shared on social media, used for reports, or printed on cards or other products as a thank you for the participants.
Other forms of live drawing
Visual notes don’t necessarily have to be one big summary of an event. They can be a collection of impressions, a series of live cartoons, interviews with portraits, and so on.
