Need a speaker for your event?
I love talking about creativity in the digital age for folks such as Pixar, Google, SXSW, and TEDx.
Need an artist to draw your event?
Think of visual note-taking as cartoon journalism: I listen for the stories and “ideas worth stealing,” then I turn them into drawings.
