Given the delicate nature of my media work, where I capture personal stories, I refrain from showcasing all of them on this website. It would be more effective for us to meet in person, allowing me to present you with a broader array of examples from my portfolio.
Here follows an example of how stories are qualitative (warm) data
and how I can draw it out for your organisation using a thematic analysis approach.

Harnessing the power of storytelling to drive positive change within communities.
My passion lies in presenting these stories in a compelling and authentic way, creating a deeper understanding and connection within communities whilst you gather much needed qualitative data. Let me help you bring these stories to life and make a lasting impact.
Whether you're a community organisation or a council service, I offer a range of services to meet your needs. From documenting a project from start to finish to joining in at any point along the way, or even just at the end, I am here to assist you in preserving and sharing the voices and experiences that make your community unique.
I specialise in bespoke socially oriented projects using film, audio, illustration, creative writing, music, and technology. My mission is to foster greater well-being and aid community consultation for community organisations and council services by capturing people's stories.
At Community Storywork, my mission is to use film and audio to capture qualitative data, specifically people's stories.
I believe it is important to capture these stories because they empower individuals and bring communities together. By documenting these narratives, community organisations and council services can gain valuable qualitative data for their projects.
Moreover, these recorded stories become online Social Prescribing tools, enhancing the reach and impact of your work. Through the power of storytelling, my projects become a celebration of the people and their experiences.
Professional quality: I am an experienced creative skilled at producing high-quality content.
Authenticity: I understand the importance of capturing genuine and authentic stories. My approach is person-centred, focused on creating a comfortable and trusting environment for participants to share their experiences.
Impactful storytelling: I am able to convey the emotions and nuances of each story, allowing community organisations and council services to better understand and connect with the people they serve.
