Meet Emily
I’m passionate about visual communication!
All of my work revolves around creating effective visuals and teaching others to do the same. I own my own business and work as an illustrator + designer. I wrote a book called The Art of Visual Notetaking. I teach sketchnoting via online courses and in-person workshops.
I love teaching and inspiring people across the US at businesses, universities, churches, ministries, conferences, and special interest groups. Illustration is for everyone! Drawing is the “human language” that transcends barriers like language, generation, location, and even time. It’s time to embrace the truth: Yes, you can draw!
Come see me.

What People Are Saying:
Three years ago, Emily spoke at UNC and really inspired me to think big! She made me realize that we shouldn't limit opportunities to a certain location and that led me to where I am today, currently interning in Barcelona. Thank you!
She’s amazing, she tells you how it is and what the real world is like. It’s very helpful compared to the sugar coating you get every where else.
YerikaAm I confused about where my life is going? Yes. Will we be okay? Absolutely. Emily Mills made me realize we don’t have life figured out, and that’s okay.
AnonymousEmily’s teaching style is so approachable and fun! Even if you’re like me and afraid your artistic skills are lacking, she’ll help you feel confident. You won’t regret taking her class!
BonnieSketchnoting takes practice. It was humbling, but I didn't want to stop! The 3 hour workshop went by so fast, I wanted part 2! Really enjoyed the workshop and meeting Emily.
