#113 Mike Rohde - Visual artist, designer and author of The Sketchnote Handbook, Workbook and Ideabook

Today we spoke with Mike Rohde - Visual artist, designer and author of The Sketchnote Handbook, Workbook and Ideabook Mike is a designer, visualiser, teacher and an illustrator. He works with professional teams in business and sports, using visual thinking, service design and design thinking to create innovative and effective solutions, and solve problems. We talk about how Mike facilitates, engages and teaches visual thinking and why it is so important...now more than ever! We learned when he started capturing information from meetings and conferences visually - creating the term sketchnoting. He opens up on big ideas, creativity, innovation - and how to focus on the essential bits of information for value. Mike has contributed to bestselling books such as The $100 Startup and The Little Book of Talent in design and production - he discusses the importance of communication and collaboration on projects such as these - and really how visuals can help for those people that are constantly trying to keep on top of note taking during any meeting.
