Graphic recording is the real-time translation of conversations or presentations into text and pictures. It gives meeting and conference attendees an opportunity to absorb content on a visual level. Graphic recorders do three things simultaneously: they listen for key ideas, synthesize them, and document them in visual form. Visuals are created on large 4ft by 8ft pieces of paper or foamboard and are one of a kind for that event and audience. These artifacts can be shared and referenced for weeks, months, and years to come. Wade Forbes is a seasoned practitioner of these engagement-enhancing services.

About Wade Forbes:
Wade began illustrating and sketch noting to pursue his true passion of creating art every day. His love of drawing began as a child and was put on hold because he believed he could not make a living as an artist. After spending the last 18 years working in cyber security and consulting with the Department of Defense and the Intelligence community, he’s now bringing conversations to life and creating art for his government clients, non-profits, commercial businesses, his church, and many more. He’d like to live out the rest of his days covering surfaces that help inspire others to do good work and follow their dreams. It would also be nice to eat delicious food with mainly forks or chop sticks since he often has a lot of ink or paint on his hands.
WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER. A portion of the proceeds from Wade’s projects goes to the following charitable organizations:
