Storytelling for Systemic Change ROADMAP
A strategic storytelling and design service
for underrepresented voices building better systems

You're not here to play it safe -
You've stepped away from broken
systems to build something better.
Something that's rooted in lived experience, shaped by bold ideas, and a vision the mainstream hasn’t caught up to yet. But right now, your story isn’t carrying the weight of that mission.

Complex, system-challenging work doesn’t fit neatly into a brochure, a single post, or a one-size-fits-all website. And when your message gets flattened to fit — your work risks being misunderstood, underfunded, or ignored.

Where you're at right now...

Your work is bold — but your messaging and visuals don’t reflect its full depth or credibility

You’re tired of reactive comms — and want a strategic solution that’s cohesive, collaborative, and aligned with your vision

You’re juggling multiple audiences - funders, communities, and partners - and need a strategy that adapts to each of them

You know your story deserves more than a quick-fix template — and you’re ready to build something lasting.

You want to launch a story-led tool — a report, campaign, or resource — but don’t know where to start

Here's the truth:
Most communications tools weren’t designed to carry the weight of systemic work.
Templates might feel efficient but they often flatten your message. And when your story doesn’t land — with funders, communities, or collaborators — you lose more than visibility. You lose the chance to build real support. But when your story resonates emotionally and is built to reflect its full depth — it doesn’t just inform, it moves people to act.
That’s what shifts narratives.

That’s what earns trust.

That’s what unlocks lasting support.
You don’t need another shortcut. You need a storytelling strategy and design system built to clarify you mission and drive systemic change.

That’s where the Roadmap comes in.

What's inside the roadmap:

This isn’t just a design asset. It’s a full storytelling system, built to mobilise your audience. You’ll walk away with:

Aligned vision with seamless execution.

If we haven’t met before —
Hi, my name is  Ange  
I started this studio because I believe underrepresented voices deserve the same creative firepower as big brands. For the past 8+ years, I’ve worked alongside advocacy groups, nonprofits, and social enterprises. And time and time again, I saw the same challenge: Important, values-driven work being overlooked — not because it lacked impact, but because the story didn’t land.

While most designers focus on the visuals and most marketers chase metrics - our process blends strategy, storytelling, and design into one seamless service — so every choice we make is anchored in your purpose, audience, and long-term goals. The result? Launch-ready storytelling tools your audience trusts, shares, and acts on.

What types of projects do you take on?

We specialise in:

Books & Publications – Print and digital book design, magazines and photo books.

Workbooks & Toolkits – Interactive, educational resources and guidebooks designed for engagement.

Campaign & Advocacy Materials – Reports, case studies, and advocacy  organising tools.

Multimedia Resources – Videos, websites, digital storytelling assets, and presentation materials.

What’s the process for working together?

We work 1:1 with clients, tailoring the experience to your specific needs. Our process is broken into four key phases, starting with a mapping session to determine everything you need—whether it’s editing support, publishing guidance, custom illustrations, photography, videography, or design-only services. From there, we move into creative development, exploring mood boards and design mockups before refining and finalising your files for print or digital use.

Along the way, you'll have access to publishing modules and guides, making the process smooth and stress-free. Throughout, we ensure a collaborative and personalized experience, so your project feels aligned, polished, and ready to make an impact.

Is it okay if I don’t know what story I want to tell or the format it should be in?

Absolutely! That’s exactly what the custom storytelling workbook and our initial strategy sessions are for. We’ll clarify your messaging, define your goals, and determine the best format to communicate your impact effectively.

Can you help with illustrations, photography, and videography?

Yes! We work with a team of talented creatives to bring your vision to life. If custom visuals are needed, we source and oversee illustrators, photographers, and videographers, ensuring everything aligns with your brand and storytelling goals. You won’t have to juggle multiple vendors—we seamlessly integrate this into the design phase, so the process stays smooth, cohesive, and stress-free.

What’s the difference between working with you and hiring a designer or publisher?

Most designers focus on making things look good, and most publishers handle the technical side of book distribution—but neither necessarily considers strategy, storytelling, and impact. I take a holistic approach, blending design, strategy, and marketing to ensure your project is not just visually compelling, but also deeply effective in reaching the right audience.

Beyond design, I guide you through every step of the process—helping with editing, publishing decisions, and launch strategy—so you’re never left figuring things out on your own. Whether you need support with printing, distribution, or marketing, I provide expert guidance and connect you with trusted partners to bring your vision to life seamlessly.

How do I know if this is the right investment for me?

If you’re a diverse storyteller looking to create meaningful storytelling materials that truly connect and drive change, this is for you. Instead of wasting time and money on one-off projects that don’t align, you’ll receive a comprehensive, strategic approach tailored to your specific needs.
