Freelance Visual Storyteller
The importance of a story – who will you trust to tell yours?
Stories have a way of sticking with you. They get passed down from generation to generation and help keep what would have been a fleeting moment in time alive for years to come. We live in a social society, one that is eager to share a meaningful story; but first, that story must be told.
PERSONAL CONNECTION
I remember my grandparents telling stories from The Great Depression and their struggles to keep the family farm. Now, living on the exact property that they worked so hard to keep, the personal connection to that time period is something that is much more memorable than just a date in a history book.
“Stories have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and instilling moral values.”

SHARE YOUR STORY
Your story is important. Sometimes you may be the only one who knows the intimate details of your history, or the ins and outs of your organization. What if you could share that story in a powerful way with others? What if a story had the power to influence a culture’s moral values?
THE ROLE OF DESIGN IN STORYTELLING
I like to think of myself as a FREELANCE VISUAL STORYTELLER. By using photography, videography, graphic design and even web design, I work with different nonprofits to clearly articulate the story behind the cause that they are so passionate about sharing. Design plays a huge role in storytelling; think of it as the foundation for what you have to share. The colors that are used, the fonts that are displayed and the images that are shown all help convey a mood to your followers. Crafting the right message and imagery can make the difference between a successful campaign and a moment lost in history…
