About the store
Welcome to Your Visual Classroom! I’m Emily Mills, and I'm a full-time illustrator, author, and visual facilitator. I believe visual learning should be simple, fun, and accessible for every teacher and every student… even if you think you “can’t draw.” My resources make it easy to bring sketchnoting, visual thinking, and simple drawing into any classroom.
Since 2016, I’ve illustrated over 20 non-fiction books, taught 4,000+ students through my online school (SketchAcademy.com), and led visual learning workshops for Microsoft, Capital One, Vanderbilt University, and more. I’m also the author of "The Art of Visual Notetaking," a best-selling book with over 20,000 copies sold worldwide in two languages. My mission is to help you make learning more engaging, memorable, and fun with the power of simple visuals!
