Draw people into your next event– literally! Visual notetaking– also known as graphic facilitation or sketchnoting– is the practice of combining images and typography to create dynamic visuals that synthesize information as it’s being shared. It’s the perfect way to take your lectures, presentations, pitches or strategic meetings to the next level, and turn them into engaging and exciting memories. Essentially, Marqs & Memos helps you show– not just tell– your story.

Visual note taking can happen digitally, using Procreate, or marker to board. Whether it’s a day long event or an hour-long meeting, Marqs & Memos delivers remarkable results.

The visual language is all I’ve ever known. When words fail to express what needs to be, I have always found myself turning to art as a means to communicate. My art practice continues to develop with each new experience, but the themes continually surround language and community.
