Make Events More Creative and Memorable
​
My work (called visual notes, live illustration, graphic recording, graphic facilitation etc) communicates your talks visually and is a valuable tool for retention, engagement, and productivity. I'm at the front of the room, or working digitally, drawing out the content of the talk in real-time. My approach combines improvisation with visual learning, and attendees will walk away with a richer understanding of the content discussed. Your ideas become productive art :)
Why Choose Silent James?
​
The word "silent" is an anagram of the word "listen"; and that's what I do :) I've been live illustrating / graphic recording since 2011; supporting over 300 events and drawing in front of crowds of thousands people. This expertise makes me an asset before, during, and after your event. Fortune 500 companies hire me because of the value and professionalism I bring to their conferences and meetings. Silent James is also a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise. I offer flat-rate pricing, support for in-person and virtual events, and I am your only point of contact!
I May Be Silent, But My Clients Are Not!

"The quality of James' output was always very high, and being able to capture six consecutive pitches always seamed an incredible feat. To me though, that was always just table stakes. James gave generously of their own spirit, which helped give the event its own unique feel. We always regarded James as part of the team, so I can't recommend them highly enough."

"Accenture had the pleasure of working with Silent James as a visual notetaker for a conference in San Francisco and we were blown away by their talent. Their ability to capture our speakers’ ideas / key points in a clear and concise manner was impressive, and the live illustration added a nice dynamic element to the sessions. Silent James was able to bring complex technical topics to life, and they kept our attendees engaged.
Silent James was incredibly kind, accommodating and professional before, during, and after the conference. They went above and beyond when working with us, and their skills as a visual notetaker are second to none. We’ll definitely be booking them again for future events. I highly recommend working with Silent James!"

“James was an excellent partner to work with during our event. They captured all of our keynote messaging perfectly. During the planning process, they were excellent to work with and always asked the best questions to ensure that the end result would be the best possible. Would be so great to work with them again.”
