Ben Crothers is one of Australia’s leading graphic recorders, and has been sketchnoting and scribing since 2010. He’s based in Sydney Australia, but his skills as a graphic recorder have taken him from Brisbane to Brooklyn.

  • Scribing is available in-person or online
  • Drawings can match your branding colours
  • Available in a range of styles
  • The drawings (paper or digital) are yours to keep, with exclusive licensing
  • Drawings can also be repurposed for social media and publication

Ben captured the essential messages from all of our speakers with a lot of talent. Having these messages transcribed in such engaging visuals allowed everyone in the audience to really take the measure of what had been said during the event.

Wow I love the report!! I especially love what you captured in the current challenge, how we are going to get there, and those beautiful images at the end about how we can shift in our approach and our thinking – that is SO amazing. I feel that you’ve captured something really powerful there.
