How graphic facilitation works
A scribe is, above all, a facilitator - someone who listens, synthesizes, and makes ideas visible.
Scribing: a core practice in graphic facilitation
This practice captures ideas, emotions, and key messages in real time, turning them into visuals that are both visible and memorable.
The graphic facilitator is fully present – focused, listening with both proximity and perspective -throughout the session.
His attention embraces not only what is said, but also what is thought, felt, or quietly forgotten.
Graphic facilitation brings information to the surface and reveals the flow of collective thinking as it happens.
It exposes systems, untangles complexity, and even softens tension with a touch of humor and humanity.
Empathy, curiosity, and neutrality guide the scribe in knowing what to draw and when to draw it.
The purpose is not to sketch every word, but to reveal the invisible connections – to make the intangible visible through graphic facilitation.
95% of how we perceive and connect to the world happens through vision.
Imagine a world where everything is expressed through movement and gesture.
It would change the way we connect, learn, and remember.
From the very beginning, drawings and symbols have formed a universal visual language – one that transcends words and awakens memory, understanding, and belonging.
The flow of a graphic facilitation session
With graphic facilitation, your meetings, workshops, and conferences transform into vibrant visual murals that capture collective intelligence in action. As a live scribe, I record the dialogue in real time on large panels, blending drawings, emotions, and key messages into one cohesive visual story. The resulting mural becomes a living memory of the group’s ideas, connections, and creative energy.
- Before the event
In a preparatory briefing, we define together the goals, tone, and potential impact of the visuals – exploring how graphic facilitation can enhance your session. - On site
I create a live scribing mural, capturing discussions, emotions, and key messages in real time. When relevant, I also conduct short interviews or draw quick portraits to enrich the collective story. A spoken summary can close the session to highlight key insights. - After the event
The work can be adapted for multiple formats: print, digital, animation, or visual synthesis, ensuring your ideas continue to live and circulate long after the session.
Graphic facilitation starts from a simple insight - humans are visual creatures by nature.
