Hi Reader,
Spring is in the air! Well, at least it is here in Oregon... we're still feeling lucky to get into the 60ΒΊs and have sunshine, but maybe you live in a warmer climate and it's been warm for you for quite a while! π

Inspiring Sketch
News + Updates
Courses + Workshops + Resources
I'm hard at work creating new courses and resources thanks to your helpful survey feedback. I'm so excited to help people learn to sketchnote, build a daily drawing habit, and more! Stay tuned for updates in May for when those will open.
I also have some cool stuff lined up for this summer, but I can't share about that just yet. π€«

Nashville Drawing meetup?
You may recall that I used to live in Nashville... well, Franklin. (close enough!) My husband and I are headed back to visit some friends and I was thinking of doing a drawing meetup. If you live around there, I wanted to see if the idea was interesting to you and if you'd be able to attend. Please vote only if you are able to attend and live in the area.

What I've Been Up To
Graphic Recording in NYC
I recently had a whirlwind gig in NYC! A client reached out for a last minute meeting to be sketched, and luckily I was free and able to go. I can't show the work as it was under NDA, but I had a great time sketching for this group and being in New York. I had some great gluten-free food, walked a lot, and saw the Harry Potter broadway show on a night off.

Daily Posting on Instagram
I've been posting daily over on Instagram! Right now I'm in the middle of a video series showing you what sketchnoting supplies I'd pick at chain stores like Staples, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby... with more to come!
Sketchnoting is EASY to start and pretty affordable, too! You can get started with a notebook, pen, and colored markers at most stores for $20 and under.
I'm also sharing my daily sketchnotes. I've been sticking with black and white for now, but have thought about adding in color. Stay tuned!
