“We have to reflect, adapt and evolve” said Jo “We have to reflect, adapt and evolve” said Jose Coronado @jcoronad at the UX Copenhagen conference 2020. A quote I have carried with me during this special year 2020 as it gives meaning to more than about UX, leadership and growth. Brilliant talk, now available on YouTube as well if you look for it under UX Copenhagen. UX Copenhagen is Always full of amazing talks, and You can already buy tickets for 2021 now! @uxcopenhagen #sketchnotes #scribing #sketchnote #digitalsketchnotes #graphicrecording #visualthinking #leadership #uxdesign #userexperience #evolve #growthmindset #leadershipquotes #leadershipspeaker #designprocess #mckinsey #mckinseystudy

The second and final day of the @uxcopenhagen conf The second and final day of the @uxcopenhagen conference has ended and a BIG Thank You to everyone involved. I am so full of new insights and looking forward to finishing up the sketchnotes. It went really well going 100% digital - with the live stream at Vimeo, the zoom workshops, slack Channel and the sli.do for comments. Due to my hand giving me some trouble, the sketchnotes I created will be online later. #uxcopenhagen @uxcopenhagen #conference #userexperience #designconference #onlineconference #speakers #speakerportraits #portraits #sketch #digitalillustration #adobefresco

✏️Using icons for self reflection ✏️ Have ✏️Using icons for self reflection ✏️ Have you tried it? These icons speak to me at the moment on a personal level. Sometimes it is easier for visual people to choose an icon from this deck I made, when creating vision boards and doing self reflection, than it is to explain with a lot of words. Practicing also helps you when you make sketchnotes. These icons are part of my baseicon collection - coming soon as an analogue card deck - #icons #symbolism #sketchnotes #visualthinking #icon #pictogram #3dvisualisation #graphicfacilitation #umbrella #energy #doodle #iconcards
🔎✏️sketchnotes from 5 years ago! 🔎 looki 🔎✏️sketchnotes from 5 years ago! 🔎 looking back on old sketchnotes can be fun and analyse how your style has changed -  back in 2015 I still used a blue or orange pencil and outlined aftwerwards - I Can tell that I spend Every chance I could to “draw” rather than do icons to make me able to remember and skim the Work. I have learned a lot since about how I make effective sketchnotes for my own use. Years later I remember I did this note and my time spend on quotes and characters that were used as examples
- but not on the actual keypoint of the lesson. Today I would focus on icons first and keywords and quotes - then perhaps “draw” a few characters for fun as a reward to myself when reviewing the notes AFTER the lesson. Some few detailed sketches thrown in with icons does make me want to go back and look at the content more - and it is a good opportunity to practice something new. 📚📖This sketchnote is from my class during my masters on Transmedial storytelling 📝- to this Day one of my favourite classes on how to do this type of collaborative World building and characters design from an academic approach.  #sketchnotes #sketchnote #visualfacilitation #visualnotes #sketchbook #throwback #lifeatitu #schoolnotes #marvel #marvelcomics #agentcarter #ironman #drawing #practicemakesperfect #oldnotes #lookingback #perspective #transmedialstorytelling #graphicrecording #myoldwork #marveldrawing #captainamerica #doodle #sketchbook
⭐️🚀New project ⭐️ this is the draft of ⭐️🚀New project ⭐️ this is the draft of my original character for a comicbook project I am blessed to work on with @mariecbrix and @feiwah - this project will challenge and expand my illustration and storytelling skills and bring me totally outside my comfortzone of “sketching” for communication -  this is one of the styles I am considering. I Will try out a bunch of different ones and maybe learn a thing or two for my sketchnotes about storytelling and drawing people in situations.

Looking back at the visual thinking meetup earlier Looking back at the visual thinking meetup earlier this week where we created icons for our new year resolutions. One of my icons is on the orange post it - which for me is an icon about energi balance, and balancing my introvert and extrovert energy!

I stumbled upon it in my old notes, re-sketched a bit and decided to post it because .... I am going to WEBSUMMIT this year too! With this style I Like that I Can include a picture that Really says a lot about the size of the event and athmosphere as a background. Websummit center Stage Really looked cool.

It is amazing to see companies Working visually wi It is amazing to see companies Working visually with the design process - and Last week at Redhat Forum in Copenhagen I met a team from Redhat Innovation Lab who uses postits in a Way that warms my heart. I gave them a printout of my sketchnote overview and they loved it, and put it on their board. I hope You’ll want to collaborate in the future @redhatinc - maybe use my visual facilitation skills for capturing some talks at another #redhatforum - #redhatforum2019 #redhatcolab #redhatjobs #conference #workingvisually #postit #postitnotes #visualfacilitation #designthinking #workshops
