Everyone has their own reasons for learning how to sketchnote:

• I want to express my creativity 

• I want to enhance my existing journal/note-taking habits

• I want my hands to do something while I listen in class

• I want to learn something new

• I want to remember content better

• I want to improve my skills to become a professional sketchnoter

No matter what your reasons are, learning to sketchnote is a valuable life skill for everyone!

A valuable skill:

Sketchnotes help you:

• Remember Content: Sketching and writing uses more parts of your brain, resulting in greater retention. Studies prove that pairing images with text helps you remember more things for a longer amount of time.

• Communicate: People are visual. Learning how to communicate with both words AND pictures helps you find clarity.

• Express Yourself: This is FUN! It’s a great way to express your creativity personally or publicly. 

• Get Paid: I've been working as a paid professional visual note-taker since 2015. If you master your skills and create a style unique to you, it could mean a decent side or even a full-time income!
