What’s the biggest lesson that co-founder Lindsay has learned over the last 15 years?

At first thought, she said you have to spend money to make money. But that wasn’t her final answer.

Throwing it back to the early 2010s!

Visual note-taking goes by many names: graphic recording, scribing, sketchnoting, mind mapping, the list goes on and on.

Ink Factory eventually landed on visual note-taking as our catch all term.

Check out the blog linked in bio to hear more about the many names and how they differ!

Ink Factory is turning 15 this month! 🎂

15 years ago, on a rainy October day, co-founders Lindsay, Dusty, and Ryan created Ink Factory. We are now a team of 17 artists and admin, we have taken visual notes around the world, and we are a leader in the industry.

To celebrate Ink Factory and the people who got us here, we’re offering 15% off one project until October 1, 2027. Just mention our birthday deal when you reach out.

That’s what we like to hear.

Explaining complex ideas can be a frustrating challenge.

Our clients often say that concepts finally click into place for their audiences when paired with drawings.

And this makes sense: Around 65% of people are visual learners. That’s over half the room that needs that visual element to help connect the dots.

When you’re speaking at your audience, only a small fraction can follow.

When you pair visuals with language, the science speaks for itself.

✨ POPPIN’ BRAND OF THE MONTH: Ink Factory ✍🏾🔥

Every now and then, I experience a brand and immediately think… Oh, this is GOOD.

That was me when I saw Ink Factory Studio LIVE at the Black Women in Data Summit this past weekend.

Imagine listening to powerful conversations, ideas and insights unfold and watching an artist transform those words into a visual story right before your eyes. 🤯

That’s what Ink Factory does.

For more than a decade, their artist-led team has been helping organizations turn complex conversations into something people can actually SEE, understand and remember through:

✍🏾 Live visual note-taking + graphic recording
🎨 Custom illustrations
🎥 Hand-drawn videos + animation
💡 Visual storytelling for meetings, conferences and presentations
🧠 Workshops + experiences that bring ideas to life

And y’all know how I feel about creating experiences instead of simply hosting events.

That’s why I had to give them their flowers. 💐

Watching them work LIVE at the Black Women in Data Summit had me completely locked in. Creativity + conversation + connection + an unforgettable takeaway? That’s POPPIN’.

So we’re officially highlighting Ink Factory Studio as one of our Poppin’ Brands of the Month! 🎉

Check out the video to see a little of what caught my attention, then go show them some love.
