from our Founder.
A note
for being here. Finding the right partner to tell your story isn’t easy—it takes time, trust, and a little bit of faith. We’ve been where you are, and we understand how important it is to find the team that feels like the perfect fit.
A recent client shared with me that after months of searching for the right partner—finally finding us on the internet at 3 a.m.—she knew right away we were exactly what she had been looking for. It was a tuning-fork moment. And that’s what we strive to be for every client: the partner that resonates with you, your goals, and your story.
I founded Storyteller Studios in 2013, bringing together my background in documentary film, television, and marketing. My goal was simple: to help organizations like yours connect with people through authentic, powerful stories.
Today, we’re a team of seven talented, values-driven mid-Americans, committed to producing the highest quality work. We’ve had the privilege of working with clients across 23 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and one Canadian province, helping small businesses grow, nonprofits raise critical funds, and national brands secure global contracts.
Before founding Storyteller, I worked on mission projects and cultural preservation efforts, documenting human rights initiatives and stories of resilience. My experience in healthcare communications taught me how to convey complex ideas with clarity, and I’m at home partnering with nonprofits that share a purpose-driven mission. These experiences showed me the importance of telling stories with empathy and honesty. Storytelling isn’t just about sharing information—it’s about building trust and inspiring action. We believe every story has transformational power, no matter where it comes from.
Cheers,
