Dear Friend,
This year was a time for looking inward and reflecting on my practice. I wrote a couple of blog posts, one on self-awareness and another on staying present – and what happens when I let my biases sneak in while I'm working, or if I lose my focus while capturing fast-paced conversations. I hope you'll take a moment for a quick read.
Planning for next year is already underway, and I’d love to be part of what you’re building in 2026 through visual note-taking. Are you hosting a training, summit, or leadership meeting? A conference, lunch n’ learn, strategy session, town hall, or fundraising dinner? Need an animated video, or a custom-drawn illustration? If so, let’s connect for a quick brainstorm. I’d be glad to explore how hand-drawn visuals might help participants engage more deeply with your mission and story.
While I can’t share everything I work on, I’ve included a few favorite projects and clients from the past year below. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support organizations that are actively strengthening their communities, and for the chance to listen closely, then translate complex, meaningful work into visuals that help more people see themselves in the story.
Wishing you a healthy, happy, and hopeful New Year,
Julia
