Trent Wakenight, Founder, Marker Ninja
I am an IAF Certified Professional Facilitator. I blend traditional facilitation with proven visual methods to engage audiences to reach desired outcomes. I have been doing this work since 2002. My work as a graphic recorder at meetings around the world captures themes, key messages, and the content of presentations and discussions in real time on poster paper to give a lasting artifact of what took place. I also produce hand-drawn videos to help communicate concepts. What I enjoy most is helping groups find solutions in more efficient and memorable ways. I'm based in San Francisco, CA.

ARE YOU USING VISUALS TO COMMUNICATE?​

Everyone communicates, but few connect.
The use of visuals in communication dates back to paintings on cave walls. Today, visuals and imagery are everywhere, and most of us are visual learners. Whether used in a hand-drawn video or a team-building activity, visuals help people learn, increase attention spans, and can make meetings more efficient. Let's talk about how we can design a visual solution to help you communicate and make your next event something more.

PORTFOLIO

I design and facilitate meetings, and create unique works of art that commemorate events and enable decision-making.
