A Thinker Who Draws, Illustrator, Sketchnote Artist, Graphic Recorder: Focused on spreading hope using #graphicrecording #sketchnoting #illustration #art #emotionalintelligence

I'm a thinker who draws, and you'll often find me with pen in hand, drawing while listening.  Illustrating concepts helps me understand information in a far greater way than just hearing or reading whatever content I'm learning. 

Throughout my life, I always found that I would remember pictures better than words alone. After nearly 20 years on a winding path of experience, I decided that this valuable skill could be used to help others understand better, too. Now I spend my days bringing conversations to life and creating art for clients of all kinds. Whether I am drawing live for your event, creating a tailored illustration for your story or book, or just drawing a daily quote about hope, I'm visualizing everything.

I believe that in a world filled with words, more pictures will always do. I've found that starting small and working your way is always best. Bring me your stories and watch them come to life in a new way.
