Mike Rohde is a designer, teacher, and illustrator — but you’re more likely familiar with his work in sketchnoting. Mike is the author of The Sketchnote Handbook, which popularized the practice, and the founder of the Sketchnote Army, a showcase of sketchnoters and their work. He’s been described as “one of the leaders of the visual thinking revolution.” In this conversation, we discuss how Mike’s approach to visual note-taking has influenced his work.Show notesMike Rohderohdesign.comThe Rohdesign Dispatch (Mike’s newsletter)Mike Rohde on LinkedIn@rohdesign on Instagram@rohdesign on TwitterThe Sketchnote Handbook: The Illustrated Guide to Visual Note Taking by Mike RohdeThe Sketchnote Workbook: Advanced Techniques for Taking Visual Notes You Can Use Anywhere by Mike RohdeThe Sketchnote ArmyThe Sketchnote Army podcastAdobe PageMillLiminal Thinking: Create the Change You Want by Changing the Way You Think by Dave GrayBullet JournalRyder CarrollUlyssesMarkdownZettelkastenThe Pen Is Mightier Than the Keyboard: Advantages of Longhand Over Laptop Note Taking by Pam A.
