I'm always so pleased to work for clients who put together great panel discussions about important topics!

Today's panel was chosen specifically for International Women's Day 2021.

This live discussion was streamed on YouTube as well as on Zoom to reach hundreds of participants. As the panel made their excellent points, I captured the essence of the conversation in this graphic. The participants were able to see the graphic evolve on screen along with the conversation.

Discussions like these really make a difference!

AIA Colorado asked me to be part of their 2020 Practice + Design Conference. The totally virtual conference featured keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and a discussion panel each day. I think their conference was a fantastic example of how to effectively use custom and live visuals.

This slideshow features the summary images I created for the keynote speakers and their discussion panels. The keynote images were prepared ahead of time, and the discussion panel images were created live.

AIA Colorado used these images in a variety of ways:

- The summary of the keynote speeches was displayed on screen as participants gathered for the afternoon discussion panel each day. This served as a refresher of what had been covered that morning.

- During the discussion panel, the conference participants were able to get a look at the graphic as it came together in real time. Once the panel was finished, the completed image was shared on screen for the audience.

- Each evening, the organizers sent a summary email to the participants which included the graphics for the day. The images served both as a reminder for those who had attended, and as a sneak peek for those who would opt to watch recordings in the future.

- The images were posted on the conference website with content from the speakers. A timelapse video of the keynote image coming together was also posted there.

- Social Media was another great place to use the images. AIA Colorado posted the timelapse drawing videos on their Instagram page each day.

So many great uses! Thanks for having me on your team, AIA Colorado!

This ticks all the boxes for me: cats, humor, simple visual representation of the complex

Startup Week is one of my favorite weeks of the year. This year I am speaking about how to use the power of visuals to improve your business. We will play with markers and get over our fear of drawing in front of people so that we can share our visions and our ideas in an efficient way.

Some hand lettered signs for tables at a mountain wedding. Some of my favorite things all together- mountains, weddings, and lettering! All of the tables are named for mountains in the area of Ridgeway, Colorado.

Contact me for any lettering and calligraphy projects you have coming up!

This is an example of a Studio Graphic, which is one of the services I offer. This one was commissioned by the 18th Judicial District in Colorado. They wanted to have a visual explaining the benefits of their five different problem solving courts.

I created the graphic on my tablet and gave the client the digital file to print and share in any way they like. We had originally planned for it to be a poster but it could also become a flyer or a web graphic as well.
