Inked: Above, fabulous illustrated notes for TEDxSanJoseCAWomen by illustrator Bernie Quah.
Previously, Bernie has put her artistic spin on notes and posters for TEDxKL in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
For more, you can see the full spectrum of Bernie’s visual note-taking on her Facebook page: Sketch Post.
TEDxKL, quite simply, lifted my spirits. To witness so many brilliant local and overseas speakers shining on stage, passionate and enthusiastic in their respective industries, was truly a powerful affair. These wonderful people spoke about matters close to their hearts, sharing their concerns and feelings with members of the audience, enthralling us with personal ideas and observations that opened our eyes in ways we had not even realized.
Illustrator Bernadette Quah has been a volunteer for for both TEDxKL and TEDxSingapore events.
This year, Bernadette hand drew posters and illustrated notes for TEDxKL in a style all her own.
Organizer Daniel CerVentus says, “[Bernadette] is based in Singapore these days and travelled all the way back to Malaysia with her own money to help us out on this.” Enjoy her beautiful work above.

Daniel CerVentus, of TEDxKL, pitched the “While We Wait” project — designed to make city dwellers’ “dead time” for public transportation, quite common in Kuala Lumpur, just a bit more fun and communal. Using choose your own adventure stories (like a zombie apocalypse flowchart) and conversation prompts, While We Wait gets people talking to one another. After all, why not slay boredom and build community in one fell swoop?
