• Tell Your Brand Story

  • Inspire Empathy

  • Move Your Audience to Action

 
 

My work spans Africa, Europe, and the USA.  I collaborate with brands, scientists, and changemakers to promote their work through strategic storytelling, empathy-driven marketing, and brand experience design.

What I Do

  • Storytelling for Impact: Craft narratives that drive meaningful engagement, influence behavior, and create lasting impact. Years of creative leadership in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors can inspire your next move.

  • Empathy & Public Health Communication: Explore how the State, Science, Storytellers, and Society (S4E Framework) can collaborate to craft compelling campaigns for public health and social change.

  • Brand Experience & Creative Strategy: Design and promote a seamless integrated brand experience across your brand and organization. I believe a brand is a story well told. Visit my brand musings.

  • Storytelling Talent Development: Discover and develop your storytelling voice - be it for personal branding or organization. If you're feeling stuck in your creative journey and need to discover your storytelling voice—whether for yourself or your team—I can help. As the Founder of Orange Academy, Africa’s first practical school of brand experience, I have had the privilege of shaping the careers of creatives and strategists leading across various industries.
