Graphic Recordings 〰️ Visual Notetaking 〰️

Four diverse women sitting on the floor engaged in conversation, dressed in colorful clothing with expressive and attentive expressions.

I offer live graphic recording to capture conversations in real time through sketches, symbols, colour, and keywords. Whether in-person or virtual, I visually document events, panel discussions, workshops, and community spaces in a way that helps people remember, reflect, and connect.

Graphic recording is more than just visual note-taking. It is a creative, participatory tool that centres people and helps bring structure, feeling, and meaning to complex conversations.

  • Graphic recording is the live, real-time drawing of conversations as they happen. It turns spoken ideas into illustrated visuals by combining words, symbols, and colours to map the flow of dialogue and capture key messages.

    I use both digital and paper-based methods depending on the context. The final output can be shared immediately after your event or adapted into knowledge products, reports, and social media assets.

    • Digital graphic recording is ideal for webinars, virtual panels, and hybrid conferences. I work live on my tablet and share the screen with participants or deliver a polished version after the session.

    • In-person graphic recording works well for workshops, dialogues, and events. I draw on large-format paper, foam boards, or flipcharts using markers and pastels—making the process a visible and participatory part of the space.

    I’m based in New Delhi but open to travelling for events, depending on timelines and scope. Previously, I have travelled to Geneva and London as a graphic recorder.

  • Graphic recording helps:

    • Make abstract or complex conversations easier to remember

    • Create inclusive, multilingual-friendly summaries

    • Document learning and decision-making in creative ways

    • Used as an advocacy tool to disseminate the summary of events.

    • UN Women used them to document peacebuilding conversations with Afghan women leaders

    • CSW featured them in post-session reports on gender and religious fundamentalism

    • Our Future Agenda (UN Foundation) integrated my visual summaries into their Quarterly platform as part of global youth strategy building

    • Plan International UK used the artwork to amplify their #CrimeNotCompliment campaign on social media and in donor reports

    • Global Affairs Canada (WVL) used multilingual versions to make evaluation dialogues accessible across Caribbean partners
