✍️ Sketch Notes
During the sessions at #BoS2019, the incredibly talented Anne-Marie Miller of Carbon Orange drew Sketch Notes of each of the talks. It’s fair to say Anne-Marie completed quite the feat of endurance, drawing for over 14 hours over the course of 3 days.
You can see her amazing Sketch Notes below:
