Inspire, engage, and educate your audience through story
You’re here because you want to expand your reach, and grow your impact in the world. I want to help you stand out from a sea of noise.
We’ve all made the mistake of writing about the things we care about, rather than what evokes an emotional experience for our audience. Work with me to help you perfect your stories, captivate your audience, and hold their attention with steadiness and ease.
Creative Services:
Story Sprint
2-Week Collaboration to refine your messaging into sharp, soulful focus that better connects with your audience and inspires them to take action.
In two weeks, we’ll clarify your story + message for one key asset (a grant, website page, campaign, pitch, etc.) so you feel confident, aligned, and ready to share it with the world.
Story Sprints are for:
The non-profit organization without a communications team (or an under resourced one) that needs an extra set of eyes on a new or existing campaign to ensure it really connects, inspires and educates their audience.
The mother who wants to build her conscious business through ethical marketing, so that she can finally spend more time with her kids at home.
The founder who has a values led service to offer, but is stuck on which story to share in her newsletter that will resonate the most with her people.
The business owner who wants a homepage or about page (or both!) refresh to reflect her more polished vision, and to better attract the perfect client.
The individual who has a presentation or speaking engagement and wants to captivate her audience through story.
Any business owner, founder, non-profit professional who knows the tug-at-the-heartstrings or make-them-belly-laugh superpowers of storytelling, and needs help weaving those stories into coherent, simple, and engaging communications assets.
Anyone who feels drawn to work together on storytelling!

The Process
-
Inquiry + Intake
After an initial free consultation, Leanne will put together a mutually agreed upon contract. We will then send over a self-inquiry and intake document. Pour a cup of tea and become familiar with these questions (you don’t need to fill it out, though! We’ll do this together).
Using this document, we’ll reflect on your vision, goals, challenges, thoughts, internal blocks, and get clear on your deliverables. This is a very holistic process, that includes inquiry about your business or organization, and also YOU as the creative behind it.
-
Create + Refine
Here’s where Leanne gets to work!
During this time, Leanne will create deliverables as outlined within your contract, culminating in a Creative Review process.The Creative Review is a time to make revisions and refinements. You’ll also have access to Leanne for questions and support throughout this process.
-
Sustainability + Strategy
Leanne will make sure you have everything you need to move forward with ease: all deliverables will be yours as well as any systems, strategies and/or further supports we've discussed.
We want the creative process, storytelling, and marketing to feel seamless and joy-filled as you share your message with the world and grow your impact. *For retainer clients, we will constantly be creating, refining, sustaining and strategizing for each creative goal.
