Narrative Strategy

Narratives shape our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical worlds. Transformative narratives can change those worlds for the better.

I work with social justice organizations, women- and BIPOC-led institutions, climate action initiatives, and movement-rooted nonprofits, and other change-making efforts. My background spans documentary film, branded content, digital campaigns, in-person activations, website content strategy, and written narrative — which means I think in story architecture across mediums, not just words on a page.

Every project starts with a lot of listening. I want to understand how your community talks about your work, what's landing and what isn't, and what’s alive, blooming, and bursting forth now.

What I get to co-create with folks:

Past Clients & Collaborators

I’ve come to this work through many doors: as a documentary director, a writer, a communications consultant, a strategist, and a facilitator. That range means I meet you where you are: in early-stage brand development, mid-campaign messaging, or a full narrative overhaul.
