As a visual storyteller, illustrator, and graphic recorder, I’ve always believed in the power of art to communicate ideas clearly and memorably. My background in comic book art, illustration, and visual facilitation allows me to bring a unique approach to corporate settings—blending the dynamic, engaging style of comics with the structured clarity demanded in business and government environments.
Through my work as the founder of Marker.ae, I’ve helped transform strategy discussions, leadership retreats, and public sector workshops into visually rich experiences. This fusion of comic book storytelling and corporate communication doesn’t just grab attention—it ensures complex ideas are accessible and engaging for diverse audiences.
Why Traditional Graphic Recording Still Matters
At Marker, we offer both digital and traditional visual recording methods. Digital tools provide flexibility, scalability, and easy sharing. However, time and again, our clients—particularly government entities and leadership teams—tell us they feel a stronger connection to the traditional, hand-crafted approach.
Here’s why:
Craftsmanship That Resonates
There’s something captivating about watching ideas take shape through skilled hand-drawing. As lines and colors build in real time, leaders and participants feel a stronger connection to the process. The craftsmanship of traditional graphic recording adds a sense of authenticity that digital tools can’t replicate.
Authenticity Over Automation
Traditional outcomes feel personal. A large illustrated board or canvas becomes more than just a record of a conversation—it becomes a symbol of collaboration and shared vision. Unlike a file tucked away in a drive, the physical presence of a hand-crafted graphic recording leaves a lasting impression.
Engagement and Focus
Hand-drawn visuals naturally command attention. As the recording unfolds live, participants remain more engaged. The tactile process even encourages deeper reflection and richer dialogue, helping teams align faster and more meaningfully.
A Lasting Impression
Many of our clients proudly display their traditional graphic recordings in offices, conference rooms, and boardrooms. These visuals serve as a continuous source of inspiration long after the session ends, reminding teams of their shared goals and progress.
Bridging the Best of Both Worlds
Whether working digitally or traditionally, our goal at Marker remains the same:
From thought to visual clarity. From discussion to alignment.
But for many, the charm of traditional outcomes—crafted by hand—remains unmatched. Leaders value the craftsmanship, participants appreciate the engagement, and the results speak for themselves.
