Sketching is a universal, accessible and quick medium for representation, brainstorming, communicating ideas, and can aid understanding. However, sketching can also be a tool for making sense of complex topics, translating research, and even scoping the future of technology.

Sketching as part of the human creative process is vital, and now more than ever as we face ever more tricky challenges to solve.
