Long
Sketch Group (sketchgroup.com.au) is an award-winning visual consultancy based in Melbourne, Australia. We use sketching to tell stories, solve problems, explain ideas, and capture conversations.
A passionate team of writers, videographers, illustrators, producers, and animators, we’re friendly, flexible, and great at what we do. We punch above our weight in the corporate arena, but also relish in working with organisations as small as us.
We believe everyone wants to be understood, and that visual literacy is the key to better communication. Our mission is to use our creative superpowers to bring important stories to life—on the screen, in the board room, and in the hearts and minds of our audience.

Long bio
Matthew Magain is an award-winning designer, illustrator, author, and speaker with a passion for helping organisations communicate better using visual language.
Matthew began his career as a software developer, but after several years left corporate life to teach English in Japan. In Tokyo, he came to realise his students were more receptive when he taught using hand-drawn artefacts, compared with those created on a computer. Back in Australia, he started a business to help people gain clarity of their ideas by visualising them.
Today Sketch Group employs over 20 illustrators, videographers, copywriters, and graphic recorders. Matthew has become a sought after visual consultant, working with organisations large and small. He has contributed to several books on visual thinking, including Mike Rohde’s best-selling The Sketchnote Handbook, and has delivered presentations and workshops on the topic in six countries.
Matthew is also the founder of:
- Graphic Gear, the official reseller of Neuland refillable markers for Australia and New Zealand
- Graphic Recorders Australia, the graphic recording industry’s membership body for visual practitioners in Australia and New Zealand
- the VizConf conference series, Australia’s annual gathering of visual thinkers and doers
