Graphic Recording


When graphic recording is useful

Graphic recording (also known as live visualization) brings discussions, presentations, and workshops to life visually. As the event unfolds, I capture key messages, connections, and ideas in real time—using images, diagrams, and text. The result: a visual record that distills complex content into its essence and leaves a lasting impression.

Applications

  • Conferences & Meetings

  • Strategy Meetings & Workshops

  • Team Events & Retreats

  • Panel discussions

  • Online Events & Webinars

  • Transformation and Change Processes

  • Participatory and dialogue formats

  • Networking events and research consortia

Complex content deserves to be brought to life. Through graphic recording, I capture the key messages of events on paper—live, clearly, and memorably. Whether it’s a conference, strategy meeting, or workshop, I visualize what matters. Digitally on an iPad and traditionally on paper.

I have been working with graphic recording since 2007 and was one of the early pioneers of the method in German-speaking countries.

For several years, I ran a graphic recording agency and worked with a team to bring a wide variety of projects to life—from conferences and strategy workshops to political events. My book, published by Gestalten, combines practical skills with methodological reflection. My approach: structure and beauty. I use visualization to make complex content accessible and to create beautiful images that people enjoy looking at.

Confidentiality will be agreed upon in advance. Upon request, content can be anonymized or used exclusively for internal purposes.

Depending on the occasion, I work with traditional methods on large-format paper or digitally for hybrid or international settings. We’ll discuss which approach makes the most sense together beforehand.

How far in advance should graphic recording be scheduled?

Ideally, graphic recording should be considered as early as the conceptual phase of a project. This allows it to be effectively integrated into the overall structure and objectives. Last-minute requests are also possible, provided the context is clear.
