A 90-Minute Strategic Intensive for Storytellers
You have a beautiful manuscript draft sitting in a forgotten folder. You have a hard drive overflowing with years of stunning photography. Or perhaps, you are standing at a major life crossroads, ready to anchor your next chapter with a deep, meaningful creative film project.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, please know you don’t have to sit in that paralyzing space alone. The Project Audit & Roadmap isn't a sterile corporate consulting session—it’s a soft place to land and a practical way forward. Think of it as a collaborative pit stop where we will take all those beautiful, disorganized pieces of your journey, clear away the creative fog, and gently pull them into the light. Together, we’ll build a clear, honest map so you can take your next steps with confidence and absolute clarity.
How We’ll Map Out Your Journey
Step 1: Gathering Your Pieces. Once you secure your session, you’ll send me a snapshot of your project ahead of time. This doesn't need to be perfect or organized. It can be a rough book manuscript, a scattered folder of up to 50 photographs, or simply a heartfelt letter detailing your life-transition and storytelling goals.
Step 2: Looking Beneath the Surface. Before we ever meet face-to-face, I spend quiet, dedicated time sitting with your materials. I’ll look for the hidden threads in your writing, find the visual patterns in your imagery, and gently pinpoint exactly where the gears are grinding so we can get them moving again.
Step 3: Our 90-Minute Sitting. We’ll meet together over Zoom for a warm, intentional 1-on-1 conversation. Together, we’ll untangle the technical publishing confusion that is keeping you paralyzed, sketch out a beautiful structure for your project, and anchor your true narrative focus.
Step 4: The 2-Week Check-In & Accountability Call. Navigating a creative project can feel lonely once the initial excitement wears off. To ensure you don't lose momentum, we will gather again over Zoom two weeks later for a dedicated 30-minute follow-up call. We’ll look at the progress you’ve made, troubleshoot any new creative blocks that have popped up, and celebrate the steps you've taken to get your story out into the world.
The Lenses I Bring to Your Work
This session isn't about vague brainstorming; it is a practical, grounded partnership. I will look at your unique story through the specific lenses I’ve gathered across my own non-traditional life and career:
The Scientist’s Eye for Core Logic: With my background in marine and medical biology, I learned how to look at chaotic, moving ecosystems and find the steady truth beneath them. I’ll help you sort through your archives to find the logical backbone of your project, ensuring your story makes complete sense to an outside audience.
The Author’s Grip on Creative Layout: I know firsthand how intimidating it is to stare down formatting, paper stocks, and print margins. Having successfully written, designed, and published my debut book, When The Road Disappears, I will share my exact publishing blueprint with you so you can avoid costly mistakes.
The Film Producer’s Instinct for True Connection: Having guided independent films to festival success, I understand how to shape media so it truly touches the human heart. I’ll help you weave deep emotional resonance into your project, making sure your final book or portfolio leaves a lasting impression on anyone who holds it.
