The Story Lab Session
A one-hour strategy experience for brands, organizations & storytellers who want who want to elevate their visual presence.
You’ve got ideas, intuition, and a story worth sharing. What you might not have is an experienced creative in your back pocket to help translate that brilliance into visual magic.
Enter: The Story Lab Session, a one-on-one creative strategy intensive where we take your vision and shape it into something elevated, intentional, and aligned with whatever success looks like for you. I bring my fully caffeinated a-game and 15 years of experience as a filmmaker, senior producer, DP, and editor for top tier media companies where I was known as the story idea person who got sh*t done.
Together, we clarify your goals, sharpen your story, and map out the content and creative approach that will actually move your audience. Think of it as stepping into a private creative suite with your own producer and DP, where everything is allowed, nothing is too big or too weird, and clarity is the outcome. This session is bespoke, virtual via Zoom, and tailored exactly to what you need.
