Through wood, stone, and sky, participants encounter the landscapes and transitions that shaped the artist. Reflective prompts ask them to consider who has supported them, what they value, and what they no longer need to carry.

Working Together
You don’t need to arrive with a story. You might have a concept, a place you want people to connect with, or a change you want to inspire. That gives us somewhere to begin.
I can develop a complete narrative experience or design the story and experience for your team to bring to life. Depending on the project, that might mean a ready-to-use digital journey, a story and implementation plan, or a combination tailored to your needs.
We start with a conversation about your audience, your intention, and the setting for the experience. From there, I put together a proposal for the project. The scope, deliverables, and way we work together are shaped around what it needs.
