At Textile Exchange we have worked with Carlotta for many years. 

From the planning of creative and interactive conference sessions, and graphic recordings that capture key themes, to the dynamic and powerful story telling of complex issues to help simplify our messages, Carlotta is our go-to person.

Liesl Truscott, Director of European and Material Strategy, Textile Exchange

People often think of graphic recording as simply a way of producing a permanent record of a conference or workshop, but at UNDP we have used Carlotta’s skills in coaching us towards clarity - she actively participates in discussions and thought development, asking questions and producing graphics which help to bring our concepts to life and achieve a sharper definition to our thinking.  .

“We were asked to organize a summit in which multiple teams from around the world would gather in a single room for 2 days in order to define our functions’ strategy and roadmap. We decided we needed not only to create a visual impact but also to ensure participants take home something else than just memories, a visual facilitator was the perfect ingredient for that. Our summit was a success and Carlotta’s drawings not only created an impact but also a feeling of belonging.”

Carlotta is a very skilled, deeply thoughtful and superbly professional graphic recorder and visual thinker. It was an absolute joy to work collaborate with her at a recent strategy workshop. She brought our discussions to life, added cheerfulness to quite intense deliberations as well as visually captured/communicated the essence of complex strategies in ways that made them readily accessible. I’m definitely looking for opportunities to work together again.

“Business Analyst. Information Design. Interpreter. Illustrator. Few individuals can interpret curriculum content, while providing the
illustrative graphic genius to successfully educate AND entertain! Carlotta combines this unique expertise. Her visual product inspired an often difficult-to-reach teen demographic. So much so, that in a field trial, one student literally declared, “Finally, lessons
that look kinda exciting, like something we’d actually WANT to read.”

Bart Christner, Executive Director PM/UX/UI, Trollbusters

“Dull, text-based reports don't work for anyone. Working with Carlotta is a sure-fire way to bring my written ideas to life. Carlotta's illustrations have been used to emphasize interesting quotes, symbolise themes, and all-around brighten up the reports. They make the content more digestible and pleasant to read. Carlotta is time efficient, responsive, and collaborative throughout the whole process -- from idea seedlings to the final product. In addition to report illustrations, Carlotta has been a wonderful asset at several of my online and in-person events. Her colourful live graphic recording creates a welcoming space and has helped me structure my wrap-up section at the event's close.”. 

Sophia Silverton, Expert, Justice Equity and Democracy in Sustainability, ICLEI Europe

”The illustrations helped explain complex information on expert fisheries dynamics models to non-experts in a visually attractive and easy-to-understand manner. We used the illustrations in a workshop with diverse types of stakeholders – from policy makers to fishers –  and they were very well received. The process was very pleasant and Carlotta made sure to capture our needs meticulously through a couple of meetings in which we discussed our vision and needs, and subsequent edits of the graphics were needed. We really recommend working with her!”. 

Ana Rodriguez, EU Marine Board

“If you haven't worked with Carlotta Cataldi you need to find a way to. We have had the joy and privilege to work with her with UFacilitate over the last few years and each time it has been an amazing experience!

Clients are surprised how she is able to listen and capture the essence of what is being talked even though she doesn't have the technical expertise of the experts in the room.

I can't speak highly enough of her skills, and how great she is to collaborate with. She an awesome human being you want to be around.“.
