What is Graphic Recording?

(Also known as Visual Recording, Visual Notetaking, Live Scribing or Visual Harvesting.)

“As a Graphic Recorder, I create real-time visual notes that capture what people say.”

Graphic Recording turns spoken words and ideas into visuals. A Graphic Recorder listens deeply, synthesizes, and draws real-time Visual Summaries.

You can integrate this form of Visual Notetaking in meetings, workshops, conferences, and events. The visual summaries help capture the key points of the discussion. They can make it easier for participants to understand, remember, and engage with the content.

Simply put, a Graphic Recording makes visible what people say.

Graphic Facilitation is a related but distinct service. As a Graphic Facilitator, I take an active role in the facilitation of an event. That means I focus not only on capturing information, but I also help to shape the conversation. (Contact me for more information about my Graphic Facilitation services.)

Finally, there is Sketchnoting. In my practice, Sketchnoting refers to my personal visual notes. These are usually small-scale, like in a sketchbook, and focused on my own interests.

What I Offer

As a Graphic Recorder, I visually capture key messages, whether in-person or online. Here’s how I can support your event:

Graphic Recording on Paper

I work live on large-scale paper, either on walls, free-standing pinboards, whiteboards, or a dedicated graphic wall. The classic marker-on-paper approach highlights the creative process of visual note taking. The visual is physically present in the space. This allows participants to see the ideas and key messages unfold over the course of the event.

Digital Graphic Recording on the iPad

Suitable for remote, onsite, or hybrid events. Here I draw digitally on my iPad and share my screen, allowing participants to follow along as I draw. For onsite events, I connect the iPad to a projector or screen via HDMI. In virtual settings, we can easily share the drawing process through video conferences or live-streaming.

In English and German

I offer Visual Recording in both English and German. I also speak and understand casual French, and enjoy international, multi-lingual settings. Whether your event is in English, German, or a mix of languages, I can adapt to your needs.

How to Book Graphic Recording Services

To bring Graphic Recording to your next event, start by contacting me to discuss your event details and specific needs. I will provide a customized proposal outlining the scope of work and pricing.

After you confirmed your booking, we finalize the logistics. Once the event is getting closer, we will have a briefing call for alignment. The purpose is to discuss any information needed for the preparation of the graphic recording.

On the event day, I will arrive with ample time to set up and get ready. Being well prepared and rested allows me to best capture and illustrate your event’s most important messages. After the event, you will receive high-quality digital images and the paper originals (if working on paper).
