What did you do? What was the weather like?

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.
