Visualization

After childhood, I stopped drawing. A few years later, I got interested in presentation technique — how to move away from the same old, boring, overloaded PowerPoint slides. Along the way, I kept reading about visualization and sketching, and thought: “This can’t be that hard — I should be able to learn this too.” I read a lot of books on visualization and eventually came across UZMO. A brilliant name. Try Googling it. Or check out this video by the author Martin Haussmann.

I started visualizing using the UZMO method, and with some practice at the flipchart and daily sketchnotes, I fairly quickly became the one-eyed man among the blind. I scanned many of my results and built up a collection over time — useful for quick insertion into PowerPoint, for example. I don’t always have a flipchart available. When working remotely especially, I like to draw on the collected sketches. I’m happy to share part of that collection here for download and your own use. Enjoy!
