Sketch Instinct
Imagine a world where you actually remember and apply the ideas you learn about in the books you read and the conferences you attend.
Imagine a world where your meetings don't run in circles, but instead lead to informed decision-making, with everyone on the same page.
Imagine a world where the presentations you give and stories you tell actually land and stick with the audience you're trying to reach.
Imagine a world where the genius inside of you can fully express itself.
That's the world I want to help you enter.
And sketchnoting is the gateway to it.
Sketchnoting is a note-taking technique that taps into both the verbal and visual processing powers of your brain in a way that makes you a better learner, problem-solver, and storyteller.
I'm here to help you build your sketchnoting skills and apply those skills to the work that you care about.
Meet Your Host
Hi, I'm Doug Neill
I help people make sense of the world by making marks on the page. I'm the founder of Verbal to Visual, an education company that teaches the skill of sketching out ideas as a learning, problem-solving, and communication tool. Through a YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers, online courses with thousands of participants, and live workshops and talks, I'm on a mission to spread the word about the power of visual thinking.

Connect with Doug and other visual thinkers from around the globe in these regular live events.

Quarterly Book Club
Each quarter I share two books that I'll be reading and I encourage you to pick one (or both!) to read and sketchnote along with me. We meet once a month to discuss the ideas within the books and how you're going about making them visual.
