Live illustration can be entertainment, a means of documentation, or a mixture of both. Megan is adept at working in both traditional and digital media, which means her illustrations can either be one-off bespoke creations, or images shared online, turned into prints, or distributed any other way you choose. The key skills involved in live drawing are speed, accuracy and artistry. Megan offers a combination of all three, elevating any event.

Megan consults with you in the lead up to your event to discuss package inclusions for private events and, for brand activations, any branding elements to incorporate. Working on-site, Megan offers an experience that both entertains your guests and leaves them with a piece of the event to remind them of your product or brand and their experience. For corporate events and conferences, Megan prepares digital files in advance to enable her to produce up to ten illustrations per hour on the day. She familiarises herself with your speakers to ensure that her interpretation of the discourse is accurate and on-point. Megan then works with your team either to release the illustrations in real time on social media, or delivers them after the fact for your promotional use.
