what people are saying

​

Play’s gifts are beyond measure. Her deep and close listening is extraordinary—including for material that is new to her. And her ability to read the undercurrents of a conversation and produce imagery that is both beautiful AND useful is a rare gift. Plus she’s so easy to work with, super low key. Rarely would we recommend someone so heartily, with no hesitations at all. Thank you Play for bringing your gifts to our work.

Play is SO talented. She was thoughtful, brilliant, on time, and so central to our planning process. The investment we made in the artifacts she created have shown their value through the entire year -- as we update our planning, we refer back to our planning journey and I am convinced that keeping the graphic output on the wall helps our planning conversations to keep moving forward and never back.

Events are ephemeral, which makes it a challenge for organizers to keep the momentum going after a talk concludes. Play Steinberg's scribing of our Keynote speakers at SXSW Eco have been shared throughout our community countless times. Not only visually compelling, the notes really capture the content of the talk, and drive people to our captured video from the conference to hear more. Play is talented and a true pleasure to work with. The value her work added to our conference, both onsite and after the fact, is incalculable. 

Julie Yost, Design Curator + Creative Strategist, SXSW Eco

Play is not only very talented, she is also genuinely curious and she is a consummate professional. I would highly recommend Play for anyone who wants to elevate their talks, workshops or retreats. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with Play again in the future.

Play recorded our SXSW session. Her graphics added a valuable layer to the experience. As participants snapped photos of the "big picture," I knew that they would retain the key points of their new practice. Can't recommend her enough!

Play's graphic recording services have proven extremely useful and inspiring to GAVA both in our operations meetings and in public dialogue with residents and our city's policymakers. Besides giving staff a visual way to digest content in meetings, we're able to look at the "big picture" and reflect on our strategies and successes long after meetings, which often generates new ideas. I highly recommend Play's services to anyone looking to refresh meeting spaces, highlight information in conferences and lectures, and to enhance the interactive nature of any collaboration.

Play is an astute observer and listener. With great skillfulness and sensitivity, she captured the group process and mapped the journey of learning and insight of of our 'Accompanying the Dying' retreat. I highly recommend her!

Play is not only super talented, she has a depth that enables her art to reach you in the deepest places. She knows how to capture the essence of the live event that is happening. Quality of Life Care has used her for 2 years in a row in our deeply spiritual and practical End of Life Doula Retreat with world renowned end of life trainers and her work has been outstanding. I highly recommend her.
