No matter who you are, having a safe place to call home makes everything a little easier. Recovering from illness or addiction, finding a stable job, raising a family, taking time to process an emotional experience, or taking the first steps toward a healthier life by getting enough sleep or cooking a meal – each of these things is easier when you have a place to call home.

Let's be honest – when was the last time you got genuinely excited reading a press release? If you're scratching your head, you're not alone. Most press releases aren’t visually appealing, which is a shame because they're often sharing amazing things.

Earlier this year, I reflected that in the heart of winter, goal-setting felt less aligned with the energy of resting, going inward, and moving slowly.

When you all bring ideas to me that are creative, I always want to share them back so others can use them. This story from Boulder's Recreation Centers demonstrates how integrating graphic recording throughout the entire process - before, during, and after - created deeper and more varied community involvement.

ConverSketch turns 13 this week!

Solidly in the teenage years, it’s high time to use some Gen Z slang: getting to do this work with you all is lit, no cap (Translation: I seriously really love getting to do this work with you all). Thank you. 

Have you ever been somewhere you didn’t speak the language? How did you get around and communicate? One of my favorite things about graphic recording is the power of visuals to help tell a shared story, even if a group consists of people who speak different languages.

When you bring a graphic recorder into your event, you’re making an investment financially, in your time, and in the success and impact of your event.

Please join in celebrating with us: Karina is one of Northern Colorado’s 40 Under 40 this year! Hosted by BizWest, the event “celebrates young professionals shaping the future of Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado who are making a mark on their communities through professional success and volunteer activities”.

Have you ever gotten a follow up email after attending an event? What was inside? A survey? A written meeting summary?

Was there any engagement? A lively volley of replies…or crickets?

ConverSketch is twelve!

Thank you for being the reason for many years of discovery, creativity, fun, and making meaning together.  Am I proud of what we’ve done together? You bet I am!
