In this episode of the podcast, I talk with Sheena Mays, a music teacher, sketchnoter, and lettering artist about her journey from music to sketchnoting to hand-lettering. Learn how hand-lettering as therapy for multiple sclerosis led Sheena to launch a hand-lettering and sketchnoting company — in the pandemic — and how this challenge strengthened her mindset and her business.Sponsored by ConceptsThis episode of the Sketchnote Army Podcast is brought to you by Concepts.
