Meet a person with a skill you can use

Kosha Bathia, 34 Sketch-note artist and creative consultant
AVAILABLE FOR: Sketchnoting, illustration, and graphic design
CHARGES: Rs 4,000- Rs 5,000, depending on the length of the lecture or recording
CONTACT: kosha.bhathia@gmail.com, @koshabathia

Bathia is a freelance illustrator and designer with over a decade of experience in transforming long, text-heavy lectures into visually-appealing notes. For her, sketchnoting is the new way to take notes. She is also the author and illustrator of the published book, Me Time: My Quarantine Journal. As a sketchnote artist, Bathia combines her love for note-taking with her love for drawing. "Sketchnoting makes content more accessible. People are much better at seeing concepts in visuals than text. The brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text," she says. Her visually-attractive designs aid in memory recall by summarising the key points through illustrations, pictures, and colour-coded themes. She captures notes live for clients, at their meetings, and also from lecture recordings.

RECOMMENDED BY: Manimala Hazarika, Chief Marketing Officer at The Advertising Standards Council of India , "Kosha has a very unique style. Her instant sketchnotes
capture the essence well."
