Abby VanMuijen: graphic recorder and remote visual notes Bay Area

ILLUSTRATION | GRAPHIC RECORDING | ANIMATION | WORKSHOPS | CREATIVE CONSULTING

ABOUT ABBY

I am a graphic recorder, artist, animator, illustrator, teacher, and creative consultant currently practicing on Ohlone Land // Berkeley, CA. I grew up in the Bay Area, went to UC Berkeley to study City & Regional Planning/Urban Design and have been helping folks translate their ideas and dreams into compelling visuals and visual language ever since.

I strive to make work that is hand-made, rooted in deep study and in service of social justice movements. I am always in the practice of improving my ability to synthesize, visualize and articulate complex content through compelling visuals and visual narratives. I am a creative and a student at heart, and bring curiosity, silliness, creativity and a dedication to an anti-oppressive practice to all of my work.
