Episode Synopsis

Illustration is a powerful and engaging form of communication – and visual expression reveals a lot about how we think.Hannah Williams is a live illustrator, and founder of her own business, Scribble Inc. She uses visual storytelling to create illustrations as people speak – a skill that she uses to create illustrations at events and workshops.Hannah’s ability to capture the key ideas from a presentation and turn them into a visual record obviously takes artistic skill – but as you’ll hear, it goes much deeper than that, revealing how we process and communicate ideas.We talk about: How Hannah realised her skill has value for helping people share ideas, and how she has turned this into a business.What she’s learned from being a ‘fly on the wall’ at so many different events.How visualisation can reveal different understandings of apparently shared ideas between people – when you think you’ve understood something in the same way but looking at a visual representation helps you realise there are different meanings.What happens when things don’t work out how you expect, and a ‘mistake’ or ‘failure’ can lead to a better alternative. Hannah’s tips for how we could all use these types of skills in ways that are easy to do.Check out the Scribble Inc. website: https://scribbleinc.co.uk/ Check out Scribble Inc.
