Our full-day workshop is a visual note-taking bootcamp in six hours. We run the gamut of skills our artists have practiced and perfected to take your visual note-taking to the next level. You'll have enough time to practice with each topic, ask questions from industry pros, and try your hand at real-time visual note-taking.
This is a jumping-off point for implementing the visual language in your day to day life! New and more experienced visual practitioners are welcome, as you'll receive one-on-one feedback from industry professionals.
