Got a campaign? A transformative social enterprise? A burning story to tell?

Are you  in need of help to produce the quality content and communications you need to achieve your strategic goals?

I get it, I do. You're a scrappy social entrepreneur or solo producer (researchers, campaigners and non-profit leaders can also relate!!).  You are laser-focussed on the beautiful vision you hold for people & planet, and you don't have time to hone that perfect website, let alone transform your digital communication strategy so it sings through the static.

I can help. My free communications audit will give you a bunch of helpful recommendations on how you can make substantive changes that fit your budget AND take your work to the next level.

Where the strength of data meets the power of storytelling.

I am dedicated to helping agents of change - non-profits, community-based organizations, and local entrepreneurs - to restore the world's innate beauty: one project at a time.

My team combines observant participation with cutting edge design skills to craft compelling campfire stories for the digital age.

 

 

Here's a snapshot of what's in my toolbag after 25 years of story-based strategic digital communications work!

Do you need to retool your existing site so it incorporates best practices in user experience, accessibility, and strategic engagement? Or are you looking for a developer/designer who can give your website an aesthetic and functional facelift? I can also build out new sections on existing sites (that resource library you always wanted, that online shop featuring branded swag, those on-demand online courses), and work with affordable & talented IT specialists to execute the customizations you need to offer your audience engaging content.

Working with (and, when needed, upgrading) your branding, I’ll produce elegant and vibrant design libraries’ with all the elements you and your staff need to quickly build on-demand graphics for your various campaigns. I’ll also provide strategic direction for ongoing suites of content based on your organization's theory of change, clarifying and simplifying the process of social media production so you can focus on building community and audience engagement.

From profiles to editorials, press releases to multimedia explainers - I help you shape your stories, highlight newsworthy hooks to earn media, and break down complex ideas into bite-sized, actionable explainer videos, slideshows & infographics. I also develop style guides to help you define — and refine — your unique voice. My passion is taking your sometimes dry, copious, and urgent information and conveying it in ways that inspire action and motivate change.

My favourite part of the site so far is the moon image behind the cranes. Magic. And it hints at the mystery that I hope to evoke through these teachings.
