Ahimsa Media / BCIT / StoryToGo Head of Creative and Interactive
Canada
I tell stories immersively and interactively across platforms of media, and teach on such things around the world and at post-secondary schools here in Canada. A few of my more unique areas of expertise are in the creation of storyworlds, digital and transmedia character development, and niche audience building and engagement. The last few years have also had me researching sustainable funding solutions for storytelling and open education projects. This has lead me to discovering the Web Monetization Standard, being an early recipient of Grant for the Web, and conducting some NFT fundraising experiments for an educational storytelling project. You can read about that experiment here: https://storytogo.ca/2021/11/funding-documentary-storytelling-open-educational-resources-through-nft-collectibles-an-experiment/
