Permanent Visual Minutes

This last week I've really had a lot of fun, working in a new 'innovation space' within a company, to inspire and encourage employees to think creatively and to enable problem solving. 

The room has been launched as a space to cross pollinate ideas, with the aim of making the business more agile. 

I recorded people's thoughts and ideas, and then was asked to draw them on the blinds of the innovation room, as a lasting memory of the launch.

British Library Schools Project

Had an enjoyable time working for the British Library today, listening and recording the thoughts and ideas of the young people present.

The discussion centred around web privacy and access. It was part of the Southbank Centre's 'Web We Want' festival that will continue into 2015.

Next year is also the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.

Corporate Graphic Facilitation

This was for a company undergoing a huge shift in company culture, the day was also about having fun through learning-games, experimenting, opening up conversation and encouraging dialogue. 

In their words: "Let's over-communicate together!"

..some learning through game-playing.

Graphic Facilitation - Consulting Doctors

Last week I was up in Birmingham working with Creative Connection for a pharmaceutical company at a large conference for GP's at the NEC. We were asking about their working lives and what they want for the future.

Graphic Recording and Visual Minutes, Chapter Arts, Cardiff

This was for a research paper for the Estee Lauder breast cancer foundation, into the way women communicate their diagnosis to friends family and their wider circle. Amazing inspiring women, very worthwhile.

Thanks to Storyworks UK for hiring me, and Eleanor Beer for the referral.

Graphic Recording in London and beyond

It was a very busy September working for different charities and corporate events, scribing, storytelling and giving a voice to those at the events.

Here are some examples of recent work:

Graphic Recorder in London with Catch 22 and the Princess Royal

Yesterday I was on the 6th floor of HSBC's London headquarters in Canary Wharf helping to celebrate apprentices and employers who support apprenticeships with Catch 22: http://www.catch-22.org.uk/ 

The Princess Royal was curious about what I was up to and came over to have a look.
