LIVE ILLUSTRATION

I am a live illustrator for academic conferences, industry and cultural events.

I record what is happening in real time during an event with live illustrations and sketchnotes, in English or French. These can be both analogue or digital and done in-person or remotely, drawn as a mural, projected or live streamed. Live illustration is the incarnation of active listening: it is dependant on what is happening and in turn influences the thinking process of the audience, thus creating a memorable experience of co-creation, amplifying people’s voices and making them feel happy. It offers a visual legacy of the event and keeps the momentum going. 

I also explore how to expand my live illustration practice with creative technologies through various R&D projects.
