About Me and what I do

• 

  “If we put it here it’ll make sense..”

  Here is a pic of me ‘Graphic Facilitating’. Taken by rocamike at Lean Start Up Machine London, an awesome start up weekend.

This site is about the cartoons I draw for business, and how they are used.

Hand drawn visualisations can be produced rapidly and have an enormous effect on business processes. The drawings created from this work are used to present ideas, create concepts, product renders, infographics and more.

This is known as live illustration, graphic recording or ‘scribing’ and is very effective at meetings and events. This form of live illustration captures ideas either individually or on large murals. This is an established ‘Visual Thinking’ technique that allows participants to develop their ideas in an engaging and clear way.

In 2011, with Rikki Marr and James Huyton, I founded Livescribes, to bring our visual thinking skills to big events. When lots of graphic recorders are needed, the Livescribes will appear in force! Recently we provided graphic recording to TEDx Oxford and have been publicly Gamestorming!

I love going to events and making sketch notes, you can see my work from Leancamp, JQuery UK and the Oxford UX speaker talks on this site (I like tech stuff as I have many years experience working in web development).

I am also a graphic facilitator. This is where drawing and visual techniques are used to get creative ideas realised. I would say the best thing about this work is that it is ‘business agnostic’. It works for everyone! And it means I get exposed to a wide variety of interesting and innovative projects…

Background:
I love drawing. I have drawn since I could hold a pen. My work has appeared in The Times, the ‘i’ newspaper and one piece resides within the collection of the Cartoon Museum in London. I have a degree in Drawing (from Camberwell College of Arts). I love to draw zombies, orcs and other things; you can see all that elsewhere.
