JetPens Blog - Mike Rohde

Monday, July 30th, 2012

Our very own Mike Rohde (on our site and on twitter) was interviewed on the JetPens blog. Take a minute and visit, it’s a great piece, and a great video as well.

We’ve been thrilled at how well Mike’s skills have meshed with, and improved, GRD practices. Whether it’s Mike’s sketches for wireframes or sketching notes and themes from client meetings, Mike’s sketches really enhance our work with our clients. The looks on our clients’ faces when we share meeting notes back with them that include Mike’s sketchnotes are fantastic. It’s as though the notes captured what they wanted to say but didn’t.

We’re looking forward to Mike’s Sketchnotes Handbook coming soon.

An Event Apart Minneapolis 2011 Sketchnotes

Our very own Mike Rohde and Kris Hunt went to An Event Apart in Minneapolis this past week. I was unable to attend but managed to catch a Red Sox game with Mike and Kris at beautiful Target Field.

Despite not attending, I can catch up on the happenings of the event by looking at Mike’s sketchnotes. Mike has done a number of these and I’m always amazed at how well he communicates visually.

We’ve started to add this skill set to our client engagements and the feedback has been great from clients as they talk through their goals and challenges at the onset of a project, then see Mike’s sketchnotes capturing those thoughts.
