I’m Crystaline, a Master storyteller & Media Creatrix.
If you’ve watched the video then you know a bit about my story and how an earthquake and a trip to Uganda changed the trajectory of my career. My own healing came from learning how to share my stories and support others in telling theirs.
I’ve dedicated the past fifteen years to telling stories as a humanitarian filmmaker, photographer, writer, and campaign creator working in Zambia, Rwanda, Nepal, South Africa, and the United States. Working with international, multicultural teams has taught me the difference between a good story and a great one. The best stories harness our humanity; they give power to the storyteller and build connections with the storyteller’s audience.
I’m obsessed with stories. I read scientific research papers on storytelling for fun. I deconstruct films and tv shows (to the annoyance of my husband) just to understand how they work. I have 500+ books on my Goodreads list because I cannot learn enough.
I’m your stories’ sacred space holder–your personal narrative midwife. My job is to channel your audience, to listen for what they care about and nix what they don’t, and to leave them breathless and on the edge of their seat. I use the science of storytelling and the genius of true vulnerability to make your stories stick in your audiences’ minds. I believe there is nothing more powerful than a great story. I can’t wait to help you tell yours.
What’s This All About
WHAT I DO
I use the science behind storytelling to craft and structure better stories.
I’m a story excavator who helps uncover the themes that matter most to your audience.
I help individuals understand their personal stories to create self-confidence and a path to future success.
WHAT I DON’T DO
I’m not a publisher, although I help authors seeking publishing deals.
I have an English degree but I’m not a technical editor. This means you’re on your own with proofreading!
I’m not a ghostwriter but my process channels the voice of the storyteller to address the needs of the audience.
WHO IT’S FOR
Everyone has a story to tell and we can all use a guide. The ability to successfully self-edit is as rare as true self-awareness.
Those who feel stuck or overwhelmed by the complexity of their story.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
In a world we lack meaningful, authentic connections, storytelling builds connections with others, helps us understand ourselves, and unites us with our common humanity.
