Last weekend, I wanted to practice some black ink "linework," so I attended Paull McCray's talk on Washington and Old Dominion Northern Virginia's Railroad at the #CityofFairfaxRegionalLibrary. The lettering is the same style that appeared on the 1911 bond for the railroad; you could exchange bond coupons for gold coins. #lizardbrain #practice #briantarallo #linework #railroad #graphicrecording #visualpractitioner
About us
Lizard Brain provides visual facilitation to federal agencies, government contractors, nonprofits, and corporate clients anywhere but primarily focused in the DC metro area. Lizard Brain was incorporated in 2013. What is Visual Facilitation? Visual facilitation involves guiding group interactions with visual tools like visual templates, graphic recording, and vision maps. Visual Templates: Large, illustrative paper forms designed to capture specific ideas. Participants provide content, filling the template themselves. Graphic Recording: Large-scale illustrative note-taking that captures participants' spoken words. This can be done on large paper wall charts or digitally on an iPad. It creates a group memory of discussions and decisions for future reference. Vision Maps: Detailed illustrations created over time with input from a small group. These maps can depict a future state, current context, case for change, or past history, all on an 11"x17" sheet of paper. They can be used as a starting point or summary for group meetings. Our services include visual templates, graphic recording, and vision maps as standalone offerings outside of visual facilitation. Additional Services In addition to our core visual facilitation services, we also provide: Virtual Facilitation and Tech Hosting Training and Instructional Design Design Thinking Facilitation Method Design, Consulting, and Training Coaching Whiteboard Animation and Select Graphic Design and Illustration Services Conflict Advising and Mediation Event Planning At Lizard Brain, we're dedicated to making your meetings more productive, inclusive, and engaging through the power of visual facilitation.

Pro facilitation tip of the day 🚀: Pause often. Silence isn’t awkward—it’s an opportunity. Sometimes the most brilliant ideas show up when we simply pause to really listen. #FacilitationTips #briantarallo #visualfacilitation #graphicrecording #visualpractitioner

At Lizard Brain, we bring both the Task World and the Human World into all of our work. We love strategic planning and operations planning, action lists, and getting things done, but we ALSO love building trusting relationships among the people we serve. Because it doesn’t matter how smart an idea is if no one listens to it. #strategicplanning #operationsplanning #thinkwithink #briantarallo #visualfacilitation #graphicrecorder

Join me for Sketchnoting 101. During this #Cre8tiveCon pre-conference hands-on session, we’ll explore the magic of sketchnoting—combining text, images, and visual hierarchies to turn even the most mundane lecture into a mini masterpiece. You’ll discover how to make your notes more engaging, boost your memory retention, and yes, impress your coworkers or classmates with your creative flair. If you can draw a stick figure, you have all you need to get started. We promise. #cre8tivecon #thinkwithink #sketchnothing #graphicrecording

What’s visual thinking? Simply put, it’s turning thoughts into visuals so everyone can ‘see’ the same goal. Picture this: when ideas flow onto paper (or a screen), miscommunication vanishes, creativity thrives, and teams work smarter—together. #thinkwithink #visualthinking #briantarallo #visualfacilitator #graphicrecorder
