I would love to help your group reconnect with their creativity through a workshop or speaking engagement, either in-person or virtual!
I'm a professional illustrator based in Bend, OR, most known for "sketchnotes" (aka live event drawings). I'm the author of The Art of Visual Notetaking, and founder of Sketch Academy and Flavor Graphics.
I've taught creative workshops to thousands of students both online and in-person since 2017.
I want to help your group connect with their creativity and grow in confidence!
Learn to create memorable notes you'll enjoy making and actually want to look at again! In this workshop you will learn how to create layouts, listen well, write and letter, draw the basics, and design and refine. Participants build skills and practice with individual and group exercises and will leave knowing how to sketchnote on their own.
Custom workshops are perfect if you need the content tailored to fit your group's goal, age range, or time slot. I'd love to help you unlock your team's creativity through an interactive creative workshop!
Give your team access to Sketch Academy online courses to help them learn on their own terms and timing!
If a hands-on workshop isn't the right fit, I'd love to inspire your group and share my experience through speaking. Past topics include:
Building a creative career after college
Thriving as a freelancer
Email marketing for artists
General interview about my work and experience.
Emily spoke at UNC and really inspired me to think big! She made me realize that we shouldn't limit opportunities to a certain location and that led me to where I am today, currently interning in Barcelona. Thank you!

Emily's session on Navigating Change as a Creative was probably my fave session overall. It really resonated and made me recognize strengths that I never realized that I had. I needed that!
Session Attendee, How Design Conference
Sketchnoting takes practice. It was humbling, but I didn't want to stop! The 3 hour workshop went by so fast, I wanted part 2! Really enjoyed the workshop and meeting Emily.

Emily's amazing. She tells you how it is and what the real world is like. It’s very helpful compared to the sugar coating you get every where else.
Design student, UNC
Emily’s teaching style is so approachable and fun! Even if you’re like me and afraid your artistic skills are lacking, she’ll help you feel confident. You won’t regret taking her class!
Workshop Attendee in Nashville, TN
Emily Mills made me realize we don’t have life figured out, and that’s okay. Am I confused about where my life is going? Yes. Will we be okay? Absolutely.
