Teaches at General Assembly

Abby VanMuijen is a graphic recorder, illustrated video producer and instructor of Visual Note-taking in the Bay Area. She has taught classes on Visual Note-taking, Communication and Design at UC Berkeley and IDEO, Chicago. She is the illustrator for the #GlobalPOV Project with Professor Ananya Roy and has since produced illustrated videos and graphic recordings for UC Berkeley, MIT, Google, USAID, the Wal-Mart Foundation and a number of documentary films.
As a child, Abby was a very visual learner, but a terrible artist. She learned to draw in college, developed visual note-taking skills by sketching out her UC Berkeley lectures and has been making a career out of it ever since. She is passionate about teaching other visual learners and thinkers the tools to better communicate the ideas and pictures in their head.
