Dr. Franziska Schwarz:

Dr. Franziska Schwarz: Since childhood, my method of gathering knowledge has been to capture the world as I experience it in writing and drawing. During my studies in natural sciences, this visual and structural approach proved to be a good survival strategy and led me to my current profession.

Scientist meets graphic recording

As a graphic recorder, I help others identify the essentials in the flood of information. I filter what is said through the process of visualization. In my role as a graphic recorder, I quickly sort facts according to relevance before reorganizing the essential content on paper or a tablet.

My scientific background and ability to quickly filter information and sort it by relevance help me create graphic recordings.

• Through active listening, I can absorb a lot of information in real time
• This ability allows me to quickly filter and rearrange this information
• I represent the essence of what has been said in structures or processes that make it easier for those present in the room to recapitulate what has been said

Through graphic recording, I enable those present to experience and comprehend what has been said in a different way, no matter how complex it may be. Technically accurate but visually enhanced, as a visualizer I create new worlds of knowledge and reveal connections that linear lecture formats cannot convey.

Graphic recording translates abstract content into tangible images

Such visual transfer processes often result in humorous scenes that make even the most complicated topics more charming and inviting to explore. It is particularly important to me to present complex content in a simplified but still accurate way. It is important to find the right level of abstraction.

In the fields of science, medicine, and technology, Dr. Franziska Schwarz’s experience makes her the best graphic recorder you could wish for. Whether linear documentation, process visualizations, or infographics, she creates the best and most appropriate imagery for the topic.
