This is a live recording of our demo with designer and illustrator Mike Rohde. Mike has a passion for simple and usable design solutions. That passion, along with his lifelong habit of recording concepts and observations through sketching and doodling, inspired him to develop Sketchnotes, a practical way to translate simple and complex ideas into easily recalled bits of information.

Mike shares Sketchnoting and visual thinking literacy worldwide and through his books The Sketchnote Handbook and The Sketchnote Workbook.

We talked about what got him into drawing, and we’ll learn some new Sketchnote techniques!

Discussed during the video: Neuland Markers.

You can learn more about Mike on his website, and follow him on Instagram and Twitter.
