your story needs comprehension attention retention
and this is how you do it

Graphic recording by a real live human at your event is a great way to grab your audience’s attention and ensure your message is both seen, heard, and remembered.

some facts about visuals...

65%

Over 65% of the world's population are visual learners.

60,000

The human brain can process images up to 60,000 times faster than words!

...which means engagement & accessibility for your audience!

At conferences, workshops, and events, I transform what I hear into beautiful, easy-to-understand, and hand drawn visuals. I record and illustrate in real time, synthesising the information as it’s being presented, so your audience can see stories come to life. Like this…

and here's what they say...

Amy Boulding
Amy BouldingProgram Manager, STEM Together | CSIRO
Debbie is a talented graphic recorder, and a true pleasure to work with. She was able to capture the people, energy and memorable moments in the room in a way that reinforces the importance of what was covered with those who were there, and will make it easy for us to share with others after the event.
Ania Domanski

You wowed everyone in the room with how thoughtfully and beautifully you captured the insights and reflections from the youth members and guest speakers, especially given the complexity of some of the things discussed.
Joany Badenhorst

You were fabulous. I loved your attention to detail when it came to capturing the key themes and messages of the event along with your consideration of materials that reflect the milieu and topic of the conference.

From start to finish, communication was seamless and the end product beautiful. We received excellent feedback from attendees on how engaging and spot on Debbie’s graphic recording was, especially for a topic that is complex.
Shehani De Silva

Both the final canvases and the participant feed-back forms attest to the significant contribution graphic recording made to the day, and bought to life all the presentations without distracting the audience during the event. Reviewing the canvases before concluding the event was a beautiful way to summarise and end the day. We are delighted with the outcome of the event and this wouldn’t have been possible without your support.

Debbie was such a pro in every way – an amazing graphic recording talent, creative, lovely and had great communication. Since our summit, I’ve been singing Debbie’s praises to everyone who organises similar events. There was simply nothing else we could have asked for – she had thought of everything.
Lauri Menzies
Lauri MenziesHead of Partnerships, Geelong Cats
Debbie really captured our Sponsor event perfectly, watching it come to life was so great and being able to share that with those who attended and those who missed it was hugely important.  The feedback we received from our Sponsors was overwhelmingly positive.

Debbie’s graphic illustrations make the complex simple and what might be a ten minute explanation, 30 seconds. In a world that is full of visual learners, our investment into Debbie’s work has accelerated our impact massively. I cant wait for her to tell the next chapter of our story!

Debbie is an expert graphic recorder - she did an amazing job at our recent Communities in Control 2-day conference. Debbie is easy to communicate with and was quick to respond to any queries I had before the conference.

Debbie was an incredible addition to our research event. Not only was she professional, with fantastic communication, but her workflow was easy to navigate with great insight into how to get the best from our event. Best of all, the illustration is phenomenal!
Kate Gibson
Kate GibsonManager, Community Development & Partnerships, ECLC
The images and messages she captured were a wonderful visual way for us to share highlights from the evening with colleagues and friends of the Centre who couldn’t be there. Debbie has an exceptional ability to pull out key themes and messages from an event, and the combination of images and words have provided an important memento for the organisation to keep and reflect on. The timelapse video was also a fantastic addition.
Nadia Douglas
Nadia DouglasCommunity Strengthening Facilitator, Cardinia Shire Council
Debbie’s professionalism and support in the lead-up to the event were outstanding. All the correct briefs and information were ensured to be in place to perform at the best on the day. Debbie’s dedication to delivering a wonderful product was evident in the work. The poster created is a fantastic capture of our event, and we will cherish it for years to come.
Dominic Swinton
Dominic SwintonDirector, Kelly Sports
Your ability to capture the essence of the conference's key themes and discussions in real-time was truly impressive. The visual summaries you provided were not only a valuable resource for our attendees during the event but have also served as a fantastic point of reference in post-conference follow-ups. The feedback from our Kelly Sports network has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on how your work enhanced their overall conference experience.
