  • Live scribing / Graphic Recording / Live Illustration / Visual Notes. It’s got many names but it all refers to the real-time visual capture of ideas, conversations, and key messages during events, talks, or workshops. Think of it as visual note-taking, but much more engaging.

  • We can do both -  whatever works best for you and your event. In person, we can scribe on whiteboards or large foam core sheets, either front and centre or tucked off to the side.  Remotely, we can join via video call and share the live illustration from our iPad directly to your screen - ideal for virtual, hybrid, or international events (or when there just isn’t space for us on-site).

  • We join your event via video call from our studio and share our iPad screen as we draw. You can show the illustration live during the session, or keep it hidden and share it afterwards as a surprise takeaway.

  • We'll arrange a quick briefing call to cover:

    Context – What the event is about, who’s speaking, and any goals or themes

    Agenda – What’s happening when, and what you’d like captured

    Content – Any useful reading or prep ahead of the day

    Branding – Logos, colours, or any visual guidelines we should follow

  • Within 48 hours of the event, you’ll receive cleaned-up, high-resolution files (usually in jpg format), ready to share, print, or repurpose.

  • Absolutely. You’ll receive a license to use the visuals in agreed formats - like internal comms, social media, presentations, or reports. If you’d like to adapt them further (for example, into animations or campaign materials), we’ll sort out permissions and credit beforehand.

  • Yes - whatever message you need to bring to life visually, we’ve got you covered. From infographics and rich pictures to branded presentation assets and illlustrations.

  • No problemo! We work with a trusted network of experienced scribes, so we can support multi-room, multi-day, or high-scale events while keeping everything visually consistent.

  • Pricing depends on the format, duration, and size of your event. Send us a few details via the contact form and we’ll put together a tailored quote that fits your needs.

  • Absolutely! We regularly sign NDA’s where required plus we’ll make sure we’re clear on what can and can’t be shared in the contract.

  • Yes - minor edits are no problem, especially if there’s a typo or a name that needs adjusting. If you'd like more substantial changes or design upgrades, we can quote for that separately.
