I met Sarah Firth when I moved to Australia the second time in 2013 and she was for me THE graphic recorder and I admired and still admire the great art she produces. Sarah is an award-winning comic artist, graphic recorder, writer and animator based in Melbourne.

We learn how she grew up in Canberra and later travelled the world. We hear about sketchnoting and how it helped her to focus in school. How she started to have a career as an artist and how she got into graphic recording around 2010. She shares amazing stories about a major accident she had and how she got back into daily life using sketchnoting again while she was in the hospital.

Today she uses her skills to in very challenging environments, she likes to work for non-for profit organisations, for example, to work with people to overcome trauma. Sarah shares some tips about how you can improve your drawing skills over the years to become a rockstar in the field of graphic recording. With that please enjoy the episode and we look forward to welcoming you in person at VizConf on the 19th of October 2019.
