The result was fantastic. Megan captured the essence of my workshop with key phrases and attractive graphics, and the illustration helped participants to remember my workshop. I will definitely work with Megan again.

Graphic recording in english and swedish

Graphic recording (also known as sketch-notes and live illustration) makes the content of a speech or meeting visual. 

It is an easy way to make a conference or workshop:

  • more accessible
  • memorable
  • and fun!

I work in English and Swedish at online events world-wide, and in-person events in Skåne, Sweden.

SWEDISH: Jag jobbar på svenska och engelska. Internet evenemang världen om, och på-plats evenemang i Skåne, Sverige.
