Visual minutes is an illustrated record of conferences, events and meetings. It is the art of listening and capturing words in a dynamic, creative and exciting way. Often collaborating with other Artists, working live to bring the information to life with images and colour.

It is Key Note listening, pulling out the themes, messages, and imagery. It is a way of making information digestible.
