About Graphic Recording...
Graphic Recording is a method used for visual facilitation. It describes the translation of content to an image–text combination and aims to make content more comprehensible. Although Graphic Recording itself has a rather young history, there are different approaches. During workshops, round table discussions, product development and other events, Graphic Recording offers a range of advantages:

• better understanding of connections within content
• easy conveyance of knowledge
• groundwork for future processes
• vivid evaluation of events
• entertainment during your coffee break — everyone will remember

In a nutshell: images are easy to comprehend and to remember in comparison to mere text.

My work could also be called "live illustration" or "illustrative enhancement". I usually transfer what is being talked about into an illustration, combined with text in order to add another layer of meaning. This is what sets my work apart from a classic transcript – my illustrations tell more than what was being said. An artistic meta-level, especially a funny one, can enhance workflows (and get everyone out of their mid-afternoon slump).

There are endless possibilties to use fast scribbles for product development or the packaging design process. During co-creation or insights workshops a sketch of a future packaging design says more than a thousand words. I act as a visual aid to avoid communication problems between market researchers, product managers and the company.

I offer live illustrations for different purposes in various formats and techniques. Sometimes a big scale is needed so everyone can watch me draw. If you need a presentation to summarize and evaluate the discussion/workshop, I will rather use a smaller format and draw silently in a corner of the room. Depending on what is needed, I draw small or big, using ink or watercolour, smaller paper and crayons, layout markers or I draw digitally on my tablet.

In several preparatory conversations, I clarify with my clients what their needs and expectations are towards a Graphic Recording. Through an extensive briefing and close exchange, we determine the direction of the visual journey for their event. Thorough studying of the subject and my 10 years of experience help me to strike the right tone – and brushstroke – at every event.
