Let’s take a moment to appreciate how a storymap can break down a complex topic into clear, human-centred themes. How does Liisa do it? As graphic recorders, our comfort zone is visual communication—but the meaning only comes alive through collaboration. Before Liisa ever picks up her pen, she works closely with clients to understand the context behind every section. From there, she digitally hand-draws each line with intention.
The approachable illustrations help show how practices like building trust, meeting people where they’re at, understanding social determinants of health, and working in partnership all connect to support more equitable care. Each wedge highlights a key consideration, while the central image reinforces that real people and relationships are at the core of this work. The result is a visual framework that makes a complicated system easier to understand at a glance—and every storymap layout, illustration style, and approach is completely unique.
