Dense content, made clear
So, you’re organizing a jargon-y, content-dense, possibly overwhelming event, and thinking: How on Earth am I going to make it more engaging, accessible, and memorable?
You’re in the right place.
Whether you are hosting an annual conference for thousands, or a closed-door strategy session with your C-Suite, visual notes keep your audience’s attention in the room, create alignment, and make the experience unforgettable.
No more boring recaps for y’all. Only professional human artistry that makes dense content more engaging and easier to understand.

Some events I've drawn.
We’ve partnered with great clients all around the US. Here are few of them:
elevating the experience
Turned a networking event into a more memorable experience. Gathering feedback through live drawings, and capturing the content from the panel conversations, to make the experience memorable.
Bilingual event? ¡claro que si!
We partnered with NABE to visualize the sessions live (some in English, others in Spanish, others in Spansglish) so that attendees wouldn’t miss on the content, regardless on the language they spoke.
Memories into financial support.
When the audience shared their favorite places and memories in Georgia, we turned them into visual stories that encourage them to support the Georgia Conservancy at their fundraising gala.
reframe what’s possible
To make the experience linger after the REFRAME conference was over, we created a physical magazine of the experience that included photos, resources, and the visual notes from the vent. People loved receiving these in the mail!
What is it
What a graphic recorder actually does
While your speaker talks, I draw. Not afterwards, not from a transcript — live, in the room, as the ideas land. By the time the session ends, there's a finished visual summary on the wall or on the screen.
People call it different things: graphic recording, visual notes, sketchnoting, live scribing, live illustration. Same craft. What matters is what it does for your event — it gives attendees something to look at, something to photograph, and something to take away that isn't a slide deck nobody opens.
The board becomes the thing people gather around at the coffee break. It's also the thing that ends up on LinkedIn with your event hashtag on it.
Services
Ways we can work together.
Live event graphic recording
On-site at conferences, summits and board meetings. Big boards, or drawn digitally and projected on screen. Every session captured as it happens.
Virtual and hybrid events
Drawn digitally and broadcast live for webinars, town halls and hybrid conferences. Works whether your team is in one room or spread across three time zones.
Invest in connection
Don’t settle for a live artist that only performs and leaved. Our visual notetakers linger at the event, chat with the audience, become an extension of your hospitality and your brand, and create pockets of connection for people to engage with the content.
This is not someone on stage that comes, draws, and leaves. We encourage your audience to chat with the artist, take photos, participate, and leave with memories (and photos) to share with their peers.
We pride ourselves in focusing on experience design, not just pretty artwork (although, our artwork is really cool).
If you want to make your event more engaging, more fun, and human, we are here for it.
Bilingual services
In English y en Español
I was born and raised in Costa Rica and I'm fully bilingual. If your event runs in Spanish, or switches between both languages, I can draw in whichever language the speaker is using — and I can hand you the same board with text in either.
For companies with teams across Latin America, this tends to be the detail nobody expects and everybody appreciates.
Pricing ranges
Investment
Flat fees that cover everything but lodging. Travel is included for events booked two months or more in advance. For local* events, there's no travel to include.
Short sessions, remote or local work, and smaller projects start at $2,000.
A full visual experience partnership across a multi-day conference production (pre-event assets, visual experience design, live capture, on-stage storytelling, post-event content, etc…) can run up to $50,000.
Most events land somewhere in between. Tell me what you're planning and I'll tell you where you'd fall.
*Local means: Alejo is based in Atlanta, but we have trusted partners in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Santiago (Chile), and London.
How it works
Even though my SEO is going to hurt a bit, I’d rather show you how it works rather than writing it. Check out the video below to see the process.
