Start Your Story

We live in a world drowning in content. Story is what makes people care.

Three Ways to Tell Your Story

Event Microstories

Event Microstories are short, human voices captured during conferences, gatherings, and key moments. Rather than simply documenting what happened, these microstories focus on people: their motivations, emotions, and lived experience.

Short Documentary Films

Human Documentary Films are carefully crafted stories told through real people and lived experience. They are cinematic, immersive short documentary-style films that slow down and focus on what truly matters.

Narrative Partnership

The Narrative Partnership is a year-long collaboration designed for organisations that want to lead their communication with human stories throughout the year, without the content scramble. Instead of starting from scratch each time, you gain a trusted storytelling partner who understands your mission, your context, and your people.

Why Story?

Reports, statistics, infographics: they inform, but they rarely move. Story makes people feel. And when people feel, they act.

Thoughtful. I take time to understand deeply before I create.

Grounded. No hype, no fluff. Clear, realistic, trustworthy.

Personal. Real people and lived experiences, not abstractions.

Care. Genuinely invested in the people and outcomes.

Effective. The work should make a real difference.
