Sketchnote artist & visual facilitator

Pippa Marsh sketchnote artist & visual facilitator working in Lisbon.

I draw while people think. Most of my work starts on a whiteboard with sticky notes and ends as a warm, readable map of an idea — the kind you actually want to pin up afterwards.

About

A practice of one, by choice.

A friendly, hand-drawn practice — sketchnotes, whiteboard facilitation, and warm little illustrations for people figuring things out together.

I've spent the last decade in and around studios learning that the work I love most is the work I get to touch every part of — the brief, the sketches, the kerning at midnight, the press check. So now I keep things small on purpose.

When I'm not on a project you'll find me drawing letters that go nowhere, collecting paper I don't need, and teaching the occasional type workshop in Lisbon.

What I do
Live sketchnotingI sit in the room and draw your meeting as it happens — the messy bits made friendly and clear.
Whiteboard facilitationSticky notes, dashed arrows, and pill-shaped buttons of an idea. I keep the thinking warm and moving.
Hand-drawn illustrationLittle teal-and-amber drawings for decks, onboarding flows, and the odd zine cover.
Doodle workshopsI teach nervous grown-ups that yes, they can draw, and that a wobbly line is a feature.

Let's make something.

I take on a handful of projects each season. If you've got something you care about, I'd love to hear about it — a paragraph is plenty to start.
