I will help you find, tell, and—most importantly—live your story. Some ways we might go about doing that include:
cultural interview
Before all else, we’ll identify your needs and wants so we know where we’re going. We’ll also establish your cultural values so we figure out how we’re going to go about getting there. We want to discover who you are on a fundamental level so that we can work towards your true goals and not be distracted by short-term or superficial efforts.
visual content
Both personally and professionally, I have experience in a variety of visual media—e.g., studio photography, technical illustration, video production, and print layout. I can help you with the concept and creation of imagery that informs, educates, and connects with your intended audience.
organizational systems
Processes, protocols, and organizational systems are stories themselves—they explain how our operation works (or at least how we would like it to work). As a lab manager, I devised procedures for consistent testing and reporting of materials for 3D printing. These procedures kept team members in sync, and made it easy for outsiders to understand our team's operation. I would love to help you develop and formalize systems for you.
presentation training
How we present ourselves in person or on camera shapes how our audience perceives our story. Having realized this later in life, I learned to present myself with confidence and humor by studying and performing in various forms of comedic theater. I can share with you the lessons I’ve learned, exercises to improve your skills, and strategies that suit your personality.
historical records
Accurate and consistent records yield a rich resource for telling the story of where we've been and, in turn, where we are going. Often we focus on the immediate impact of our work, yet we neglect the extra step to make sure the learning of this work isn't lost to time. We can find ways to make the process of keeping records simple and easy to implement.
Ultimately, the projects we work on will be suited to your individual needs. We’ll find creative ways to solve problems, discover insights, and facilitate efficiency. My philosophy for accomplishing these goals is derived from my cultural values.
