I go to a lot of workshops, events, meetups, conferences, etc. I host and co-host interactive workshops and naturalist field trips. I often speak at events and facilitate workshops for participants. I sometimes sketchnote them for love or money.
Looking for a workshop or speaker for your event or meetup, or interested in having an event documented with visuals (graphic recording or sketchnoting)? Drop me a note.
Here’s where I’ll be (and where I’ve been.)
