Sketching workshop with Eva-Lotta Lamm

UX Podcast

S02E14 (#324). A slightly different episode to usual. Eva-Lotta Lamm joins us to hold a visual thinking sketching workshop – Eva-Lotta, James and Per have fun going through three sketching exercises set by Eva-Lotta that can help you with your creativity, team-building, visual thinking and much more.

Grab some pens, and perhaps even a couple of colleagues and join in as we work through the exercises. Eva-Lotta gets us drawing Squiggle Birds, puts us through “pass it on” sketching – and then a “describe and draw” exercise.

“Who’s this person? What happens afterwards? Does he get a new coat? Or is he gonna throw him into the water? Or is he gonna strangle him?”

– Eva-Lotta Lamm
