Graphic Recording
Bring your meetings and conferences to life with compelling visual summaries of all the important conversations and presentations.
I provide my graphic recording (aka live scribing or live illustration*) services for conferences, workshops, and meetings, both in-person and online from my base in the Canary Islands.
Maybe you want to spark engagement at an event or help participants remember key ideas from a workshop, a graphic recording will make your content stick - beautifully.
Based in Las Palmas, working with clients across Spain, Europe, and online worldwide.
How Graphic Recording Works: From Brief to Final Visual
1. Pre-event briefing & preparation
Before your event, we’ll talk through your goals, topics, and audience.
I’ll prepare a visual approach that matches your tone and brand, so your graphics feel perfectly integrated.
2. Graphic Recording during your event
During the event, I listen, distil, and draw transforming spoken ideas into clear, engaging visuals in real time.
This can happen live in the room as a large scale paper graphic, digitally on the iPad and projected for the audience, or digitally shared in virtual or hybrid settings.
3. Post-event refinement & delivery
After the session, I tidy up and digitize your visuals, creating polished, high-resolution artwork ready to share as PDF, PNG, or SVG files. If it’s a paper graphic I will send you the original after scanning.
You’ll receive everything you need for internal reports, social media, or printed posters.
When Graphic Recording - Live Scribing Make an Impact
Graphic Recording works anywhere ideas are shared - these are just a few ways my clients use it:
Conferences & Summits to capture keynote messages and spark conversations.
Workshops & Training to help participants visualise learning and retain insights.
Strategy & Visioning Sessions to turn abstract thinking into clear, shared visuals.
Panel Discussions to summarise multiple voices in one visual story.
Hybrid & Virtual Events to create engagement for remote audiences in real time.
* The list of names we get called and what we do is endless and also includes:
Conference Illustrator, Conference Artist, Live Scriber, Visual Minute Taker, Visual Harvester, Meeting Illustrator, Meeting Artist, Live Event Scribing, Live Graphic Recording, Sketchnoter.
I don’t mind what you call me, my visuals are there to simplify, engage and make sense of your event.
So why have a Graphic Recorder at your event?
“You’re the only person here that listens to everything aren’t you?”
It’s true!! While you’re doing attendee things, listening to some of the presentations or networking with colleagues, I’m fully immersed. I’ll be listening to the Keynotes or hopping between breakout rooms capturing all the important stuff so you won’t miss anything.
I synthesise that important stuff and convert it into engaging illustrations and graphics, sketchnotes, visual notes, visual meeting minutes (call it what you will) so that you have a lovely visual summary at the end of the event to remind you what the heck everyone talked about. It’s much more effective than a bunch of bullets on a presentation deck.
Graphic Recording Time-lapse - Large Format on Paper
Here’s a quick look at what graphic recording looks like in action - captured during a real event.
This large-format graphic was created on-site at a renewable energy conference in Prague, Czech Republic, where I captured key insights from multiple speakers and round-table sessions over an intense nine-hour day.

“It was great to watch Verity create something so dynamic in real time. It wasn’t just about the finished piece, but about the process; the way the sketch developed from just a big blank page into something full of character, style and story.”
When Your Event Is Over - Digital Graphic Recording Timelapse Example
If I’ve created a digital graphic recording, you’ll get a smashing timelapse showing your illustration taking shape - like this one.
These are great for sharing with attendees afterwards and brilliant for engagement on social media - a lively recap that keeps your event’s ideas circulating long after it’s finished.
Examples of Graphic Recording work
Here are a few moments I’ve captured in real time; snapshots from conferences, workshops, and events where ideas came to life through live scribing.

Graphic Recording is such a powerful tool that can transform any event or meeting into a memorable experience. Here are a few reasons why:

Simplified Complexity
Complex ideas and data can be challenging to convey with words alone. Graphic recording breaks down these concepts into visual elements, making them easier to understand.

Memory Retention
Studies show that people remember information better when it's presented visually. A visual summary of your meeting or event will help reinforce key points, making them more likely to stick.
