P/a't*c%s%s-i$n-


I want to become a better sketcher, listener and documenter.

I want to remember key information and have something to share with others after a session.

I'm a big visual learner & I want to remember things more easily.

I want to tell a story very quickly.

I want to learn to effectively communicate visually.

I want to make hard concepts more accessible.
