Read MoreLast week I was incredibly fortunate to be invited to attend the AIGA Leadership Retreat, thanks to Julie Anixter and my friends at MAGA Design. I have partnered with MAGA on several projects, and they are big sponsors and supporters of AIGA at a local and national level. Julie, who is the newly appointed Executive Director of AIGA and a former MAGAteer asked that I attend the conference to help capture the content of the discussions and do some ethnographic research on what more AIGA can do for it's members. She has really big goals to make an already amazing organization even greater, and it is an honor to be a part of the conversation.

Since starting my business last fall I have felt so much more connected with the local design community, but this event took that feeling to a whole new level. I learned about amazing work coming out of organizations that I didn't even know existed, and I met some incredibly talented and dedicated people. Here is a gallery of my digital sketchnotes with some commentary about what it was like to record each presentation.
