What is Sketchnote Lab?
Sketchnote Lab is where Mike Rohde (that’s me) guides you to integrate sketchnotes and visual thinking into your work life to get things done.
I love guiding people to build their visual thinking skills like how to use sketchnoting to think, exploring ideas and problem solving with visuals, and how to use sketchnotes to communicate clearly. Sketchnote Lab is where I show you how to do it.

Who is Mike Rohde?
Mike Rohde is an author, illustrator, designer, and teacher who coined the term sketchnotes in 2006 after running experiments with visual notetaking.
What are Sketchnotes?
Sketchnotes are rich visual notes created from a mix of handwriting, drawings, hand-lettering, shapes, and visual elements like arrows, boxes, and lines.
Sketchnotes don't require special drawing skills but require you to listen and visually synthesize and summarize ideas using writing and drawing.
What started as a better way to capture notes at conferences and meetings has become a phenomenon, complete with the best-selling book The Sketchnote Handbook and The Sketchnote Workbook.
Mike teaches his straightforward approach to visual thinking worldwide at in-person and online workshops.
He is well-known for his illustration work on bestselling books like REWORK, REMOTE, $100 Startup, The Culture Playbook, and Honest SEO.
He is the founder of the Sketchnote Army and host of the Sketchnote Army Podcast.
Sketchnote Lab is built on Substack.com.
