Live Illustration
Make your message unforgettable with live illustration. I partner with clients across Spain, the UK, and Europe to turn standard meetings into immersive visual experiences. Operating globally from the Canary Islands, I offer on-site and remote illustration services designed to boost engagement and clarify complex content. If you are looking to make your next workshop or presentation stand out, my live illustration turns fleeting words into powerful, permanent visual assets that travel as far as your ideas do.
Why hire a Live Illustrator for your Event?
We’ve all been there … kick-offs, conferences and breakouts… endless presentations that by the end of the event have all blurred into one big ‘Death by Powerpoint’. And then at the end of it all you’re presented with a hundred presentation decks which, post-event, often don’t mean an awful lot. And if we’re honest, we’re highly unlikely to look at again.
Now, imagine capturing the essence of your event, not with bullet points, but with dynamic, colourful visuals created in real time. That’s live illustration! It’s visual note-taking on steroids. 🚀
Live Illustration 101
(Or, how I turn your words into pictures!)
While your speaker is presenting or your attendees are debating in a breakout, I’m there listening intently whilst creating illustrations in real time on my iPad or a massive piece of paper transforming their spoken words into a vibrant, visual summary.
From keynotes to coffee breaks, as a live event illustrator, I’m making sure the really important conversations and presentations during your event are captured in an engaging way to ensure that EVERYONE remembers what was discussed.

No event is too big, too small or too niche. Over the last decade, my pens, iPad and I have journeyed to events of all shapes and sizes.

Annual Kick-Off Conferences

And location isn’t a problem either. I’ve zapped my way into events worldwide via live stream, Zoom, and Teams, making physical distance irrelevant.
These events have ranged from multi-day conferences to one hour webinars (and everything in between).

More FAQ’s
-
The first thing I need to know is the date of your event. I need to make sure I can fit you in the Tetris. Then I’ll need to know where the event is, whether you’ll need me there in-person or if it can be done virtually
-
That’s a very good question. Ideally a couple of weeks, especially if I have to travel. I like to have time to prepare and research the subject matter if necessary and also have clear what your objectives are for the final piece. That said I have been called to do a live illustration the day before the event!
-
Firstly the agenda and timings of the sessions are gold dust as they help me to plan out the graphic. Having a preview of the presentations is also really useful as it gives me the chance to think about how I can capture certain concepts etc.
-
Absolutely. If I’m working on paper I will endeavour to use markers to match your company colours - I have even mixed inks in the past to get as close s possible. If we are working digitally then I will use the Hex/RGB/CMYK colours in your branding guidelines.
-
That really will depend on several factors
How many days the event is (I do give a discount if it is multiple days).Whether I have to travel, working virtually is obviously going to be less expensive. If I have to adapt to a different time zone then I may have to charge an additional travel day.
Your best bet is to get in touch and give me as much information as you can about your event or set up a discovery call with me and I will get a quote turned round ASAP.
