Storytelling is the beating heart of our lives.

 

Our world is built on narratives that define our culture. That’s why, when those familiar narratives are brutally ended, entire nations find themselves in a sudden crisis of identity, an anxiety of existence.

​

Where once those narratives soothed with a sense of continuity, a story prematurely curtailed feels existential.

​

I’ve spent my life being fascinated by our human stories and the kinds of communities we build with them. I believe that by communicating powerful narratives we can create better, life-enhancing cultures that can reshape our world.

​

I'm not alone: storytellers narrate the biggest moments in our political, cultural and artistic history. For better or worse, their stories change the course of soverign nations, lay power to ground and influence the things we buy, think and even believe.

​

I’m a media communications consultant with over 30 years professional communications experience. I’ve scripted and directed commercials, films, television series, scripts and business communications. I’m a writer of fiction, poetry, journalism and communications analysis.

​

I’m also an award-winning film maker and prize-winning educator who navigates the creative communications spheres and educational media projects. I can support others in doing this successfully too. We are all storytellers, sometimes we just need to know which story to tell - and I can help you with that.

​

Whether you want a communications strategy, support with media communications or need a film with a compelling story at its heart  - let's chat and make it happen.
