The SketchNote Army Podcast

In this first episode of the Sketchnote Army Podcast season 12, I talk with Hermen Lutje Berenbroek, a design strategist and visual thinker from the Netherlands.

Hermen shares how he helps people understand complex information and how being an outsider often gives him the power to listen intently, draw what people are really thinking, and ask questions insiders might be afraid to ask.

He also goes into detail about the process of creating his new visual thinking course with Domestika designed to reach people around the world right where they’re at.
