All my sketchnotes from Webcon 2019

Along with my colleagues Melinda Miller and Allison Ofisher, I co-led a workshop on how to “redesign” your site with great content! You can see our slides and resources here. (Yes, we committed hard to the island theme and that is worthy of respect.)

Sketchnotes, sessions, and speakers:

Lauren Liss on The Benefits of Iterative Failure

A conversation between (former Pixonaut!) Safiya Umoja Noble, Ph.D. and Jack Brighton

How collaborative discovery at Stanford Summer influenced the project, by Christine Coughlan

Friday’s powerful keynote by Safiya Umoja Noble, Ph.D.

*Ariel voice* I want mooooore (sketchnotes)
