Hire Kate for Graphic Recording and Illustration Services

Kate provides expert graphic recording and illustration services backed by twenty years of learned business acumen. Her background working with many of the Big 5 consultancies as a visual note taker, (a plug-in to rapid solutions workshops) has steeped Kate in understanding challenges and opportunities that companies of all sizes and disciplines encounter.

Kate keenly understands that visual thinking and note taking elevates the soft side of change management by allowing the group to bring up, acknowledge, and give necessary air time to deep feelings that people have about the work that they are doing. Kate has had the honor and privilege of creating a visual narrative from being a, "fly on the wall" in a safe space where there are many difficult and honest conversations in which people are forced to be vulnerable to fix systemic organizational issues. They can bring up any obstacles or golden nuggets that they have to share and there will be a visual account of it that makes people feel heard, creates accountability, and records their ideas for them to see and retain information. The companies Kate has worked with range from big Fortune 500s to local small government agencies and non-profits.

Thanks to decades of helping to design and facilitate workshops, Kate is capable of suggesting visual brainstorming exercises from her large toolkit collected over time. For example: 

• ✍🏽 We can carefully craft prompts for engagement boards for participants to interact with.

• ✍🏽 Affinity reports from the group create accountability where participants can see their dedication  illustrated and themes emerge.

Kate has a method, with tools and recommended supplies, to deliver each visual exercise via a calculated process that drives results.

The outcome is engaging, simplified, accurate, and beautiful accounts of conversations and ideas in graphics to communicate back to the broader team and/or use as marketing and communications pieces. This visual storytelling can be done both online or in person as budget, time, and preference allow,

Additionally, Kate has lots of experience creating graphics from a script for videos and books. Utilizing brand guidelines, she has commonly helped companies visualize their vision, mission, values, guiding principles, and goals. Some examples of this work includes:

• ✍🏽 Kate has created a 24 page integrity playbook for a university to socialize their framework and help employees, students, and stakeholders live their principles.

• ✍🏽 Kate has illustrated the feedback participants wrote on prompted notecards at local government meetings.  

• ✍🏽 Kate has hand drawn assets for videos for a large streaming service. Simply send me a script and I can get to work. Learn about the different ways to engage with Kate here.
