Talk - “Drawn to Words: How Sketchnoting Revealed the True Power of Content Design"

What happens when you spend years translating other people's words into visual formats? You develop deep insights into what makes content truly resonate. In this talk, I'll share how my journey as a sketchnoter fundamentally transformed my approach to content design. Through capturing hundreds of presentations visually, I've gained practical understanding about effective communication - how structure creates clarity, why consistency in promised content matters, and how content needs to stand on its own beyond its original context.

I'll demonstrate practical techniques drawn from the intersection of visual thinking and content strategy that you can immediately apply to your UX work. You'll learn how to identify the true core of any message, create more memorable user-focused content, and bridge the gap between visual and verbal communication. This isn't just about making pretty notes – it's about the unexpected lessons in structure, hierarchy, and brevity that emerge when you're forced to capture complex ideas in real-time using just an iPad and Pen.”
