Hi, my name is Alex
I'm an illustrator and live graphic recorder. I combine a love of drawing and deep listening with a background in communications and international development. My visual work has supported academics, facilitators, international and community organisations, coaching bodies and more.
My work is founded on a belief in the power of visuals to make complex ideas more human, to help people feel seen, heard, and to inspire new ways of thinking.
Services
Live Graphic Recording
Perfect for conferences, learning spaces, strategy days, hybrid and online events.
I join your event, workshop, or meeting (live remote or in-person) and listen deeply while drawing in real time. I turn what’s being shared into a living visual story.
The drawing grows as the conversation unfolds, helping people:
-
see the bigger picture
-
notice patterns and connections
-
feel heard and represented
-
stay engaged and present
You receive high-quality digital visuals afterwards to use in reports, presentations, social media, and follow-ups — so the work continues beyond the day.
​
Strategic Illustration & Visualisation
Ideal for strategy, systems change, learning programmes, and organisational storytelling.
​When you need to communicate something complex — a strategy, system, vision, or journey — I help you see it.
Working collaboratively, I create clear, thoughtful illustrations that:
-
bring structure to big ideas
-
support shared understanding
-
help people align and move forward
These visuals can live in toolkits, reports, slide decks, websites, or learning materials — wherever your story needs to travel.

More than pretty pictures...

My Approach
My work is shaped by training in systems change, visual facilitation, and embodied listening.
This means I don’t just draw what’s said , I listen for patterns, emotions, and what’s connecting the ideas beneath the surface.
I bring a calm, trauma-aware, and relational presence into spaces where people are navigating complexity, change, or uncertainty.

Alexandra Plummer's graphic recording aligned perfectly with the design of the EMCC Global Annual Conference 2025 and the intention to explore the art of deeply listening and connecting. The way she captured the insights, the feelings, and the energy was impactful. The intense colours used in the visuals reflect her generative listening and anchor us to each unique moment. Thanks a million, Alexandra
