Now is Our Time – TEDGlobal 2011 in Edinburgh
Thursday, August 4th, 2011 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Graphic Recording, Visual Thinking
Click a thumbnail for a larger view. Click here to view them on Flickr. Being part of any TED event, whether as a speaker, facilitator or visualizer, has been like joining a family. A big, raucous, good-samaritan, wildly creative family. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of being involved in various TED events, my first [...]
Doodle Revolution Meets Robert McKee
Thursday, July 28th, 2011 - Filed under Graphic Recording, Visual Notetaking
Our last blog post on Robert McKee’s STORY Seminar was so beloved by McKee’s folks that they requested to use the visual notes as their marketing piece. Mia, Robert’s lovely wife, sent us this image to show how they juxtaposed my content with theirs. I know many of you are equally enamored with story as [...]
The Infamous Robert McKee: STORY Seminar in London
Friday, July 15th, 2011 - Filed under Graphic Recording, Visual Notetaking
As I grow in my visual thinking work, it’s become abundantly clear that the story is 100 times more powerful than the visuals that support it (and am I going to get in trouble for saying that!) I’ve always known that visualizing crappy content is like putting lipstick on a pig, but the overwhelming importance [...]
SXSW Interactive 2011: Don’t Call it a Comeback. I’ve Been Here for Years.
Thursday, July 7th, 2011 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Graphic Recording
And here we go again with SXSW Interactive – a festival to make other festivals shrink in fear. This mammoth affair brings some 75,000 people to Austin and for the last four years, I’ve been responsible for curating the live visualization team during the Interactive portion (and for showing up prepared for a panel that [...]
Taking it to Scale: SXSW Interactive
Thursday, July 7th, 2011 - Filed under Graphic Recording
I’ve worked at SXSW for several years now, graphically recording the keynotes, curating the graphics team, and speaking on panels with some excellent folks. My graphic records from those events seem to spread far and wide on the Internet, but once they’re gone people lose the sense of scale. This post, therefore, is specifically so [...]
For Fast Company: My Creative Process Unfolding
Saturday, July 2nd, 2011 - Filed under Comics and Sketches, Infographics, Spokesperson Sunni
When Fast Company put me one their 100 Most Creative People in Business 2011 list, they asked that I draw an image of my creative process so they could use it to promote the event. They also asked me to send a self-portrait. So, since neither my creative process nor my self-portrait is sacred, I [...]

Many of you know that Dave Gray and I are hosting a Gamestorming workshop at Duarte Design in July of this year. But did you also know you can get a sneak peek into the content? I spent about about 45 hours designing the curriculum and about 15 hours designing the slides to accompany it. [...]
Teacher Leadership for the 21st Century
Sunday, June 12th, 2011 - Filed under Infographics
The Center for Teaching Qualityis a repeat client of ours and our admiration is mutual. This small but dynamite organization works to redefine what it means to be a teacher in the 21st Century – legislatively, politically and in the virtual/classroom. Teachers are no longer just teachers in the new education landscape – they are [...]
