Hannah Williams on The Art of Live Scribing

What is livescribing? On this episode, I speak to an artist with a unique creative talent. Hannah Williams is the founder of Scribble Inc. and her talent is that she can summarise presentations and discussions in beautiful pieces of art that fuse words and images. You'll find links to examples below.

I met Hannah at a conference called Speak to the Human, an annual event, organised by Acteon Communication. You can read more about it here.

Hannah livescribed all the presentations and sessions that day, including mine.
You can see a video of her in action here and the live scribe of my presentation here:

The reason I wanted to get Hannah onto the show is because she has some fascinating perspectives from having spent hours observing humans and summarising their thoughts and ideas. Her lens on people can teach us a lot about human risk.

In our discussion, we explore:

• how Hannah came to become a livescribe after realising she had a talent for it;
• the role of live scribing in facilitating personal expression, fostering inclusion, and promoting understanding;
• how restrictions can enhance creativity, and how, counterintuitively, controlling the environment can stimulate creative flow;
• Hannah’s transitioned from being an artist to entrepreneur and how she balances her business decisions with personal values;
• the power of visual representation in communicating energy facilitating self-reflection and impriving our memory;
