Testimonials

I had the pleasure of engaging Alex for workshops, and her impact was truly impressive. Alex's exceptional ability to actively listen, coupled with her swift rapport-building skills with senior leaders, stood out prominently. She played a pivotal role in helping our strategy team communicate complex ideas more simply, facilitating a smoother and more effective exchange of thoughts. Alex's professionalism and expertise make her an excellent asset to facilitation and strategy teams.

We were so pleased we asked Alex Wegner to Sketchitlive for us at our new School's planning day at the University of Newcastle. Having a live visual record and reminder of things being discussed was a powerful way to engage staff in active participation for the co-creation of ideas about how we work across academia and industry. Alex got to know about our event in a very clear and thoughtful way beforehand, and was highly professional in her set-up on the day. Her ability to listen, reflect and pick up on the discussion and represent it back to us was fantastic. It was the most active staff participation I have seen in any workshop I've run as a manager and leader in the university. Fun elements – like little portraits, thought bubbles and insights – combined with the big concepts powerfully. The end result was a set of visual recordings of our conversations and plans, easy to share with others and to retain as we move ahead as a group. Thank you Alex for a really interesting presence at our day together!

City of Newcastle engaged Alex from Sketch it Live for two projects; the first was to develop an animation to support the promotion of an environmental project. The process from our end was so easy – Alex met with the team and asked all the right questions, and then went away and developed something so much better than we could have anticipated! We received the art in a range of digital formats that we've then been able to use in print, video, web content and socials, so has been a very valuable asset! We enjoyed working with Alex so much that we then hired her to do a team-building activity of caricatures which was so fun having her sketch us live and then having a piece of art to use and keep. I highly recommend Alex for her creative talent but also her professionalism and for going above and beyond. Highly recommended!

We engaged Alex to support with graphical recording at our annual employee development days, and we're so glad we did! Alex visually captured stories from conversations in workshops about employees demonstrating company values of caring, excellence, integrity and progress. It was amazing to see Alex bring stories to life visually across 16 workshops and how graphical recording can be used to improve session engagement and impact. Alex even digitised the graphics for us to use for future initiatives. Thanks again Alex.

Alex’s work is colourful and engaging. Always easy to book, she shows up on time, draws throughout the event and delivers digital records promptly. Through my roles at Hunter Joint Organisation, the University of Newcastle and Singleton Council, we received positive feedback that graphic recording made group sessions interesting, clear and memorable!
