Graphic Recording &
Graphic Facilitation Examples

My goal is to uplift my clients and their work.

Since 2016, I have worked with hundreds of clients within many fields of practice and across Canada, the United States, Australia and Europe. I am a trained public speaker and provide a high level report-back or summary of the day after live graphic recording sessions. I call this a report-back a witnessing, which is similar to how Wet’suwet’en people draw on witnesses in our feast halls since we depended upon oral histories within our place of governance. My methodology as a Wet’suwet’en visual practitioner is to incorporate my Indigenous ways of knowing and being.

Digital Graphic Recording. Visual policy analysis.

This is an example of visual policy analysis, a methodology that I developed after completing my masters research. This process utilizes graphic facilitation, my own Wet’suwet’en ways of knowing and being and policy analysis. For additional information about this work please go to the consulting services page.

This is an example of a digital studio graphic recording from 2023 with my own nation, Witset First Nation. It was drawn in collaboration with Witset Administration and illustrates the Witset Food Security Plan.

Graphic recording as a research methodology.

Graphic facilitation to summarize each theme.

The Indigenous Women’s Voices in Health Care project received a Vancouver Coastal Health Research Initiative (VCHRI) Team Grant and was led by Colleen Stewart & Belle Selkirk. Three posters were drawn live at sessions held with Indigenous women. The graphic recordings were used as a methodology as themes were harvested from the posters. Michelle utilized graphic facilitation in the final poster, which summarized the themes drawn out of each live event.

Live Graphic Recording using Paper and Pens.

Live graphic recording with the Indigenous Food and Freedom School in November 2019 and in January 2020. Dawn Morrison, Secwepemc Nation member and founder and curator of the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty (WGIFS) invited me to work with them to capture important conversations around restoring ancient food systems.
