Also known as graphic recording, sketch noting or visual minutes.

What is it?


'Live scribing' is a term for having artwork created live during an event. It has other names like visual minutes, sketch noting, graphic recording and graphic facilitation. It's the process of capturing a live event as engaging colourful visuals. It's a great way to engage and support individuals and teams .

It can take various forms;

  • Capturing a speaker's words as visuals as they deliver their talk at a conference
  • Working with a team at a company away day, turning feedback into posters
  • Capturing company core values as spoken notes and turning them into highly polished illustrations
  • (90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.)

Live Scribing is a great way to enhance the impact and takeaways from an event.
With the live art I create for clients, all artwork is owned by the clients once it has been created, and can be reused however they like. Often on office walls or social media.

Live scribing (Graphic recording) is thinking fast with visuals. Creating engaging illustrations during a talk, conference or event. It has other names like visual minutes, sketch noting and graphic facilitation.

Connecting what speakers are saying with what images are commonly represented by the subject being spoken about. There's also humour, as I like to add appropriate humour to visuals. Just my opinion, though I think with more serious topics, using a little light humour can help with how people engage with difficult subjects, and some of my clients agree.
