Strategies, identities and narratives that inspire and drive change

Creative and sensory method for companies, collectives and individuals to define their brand and create an honest and authentic storytelling and storydoing. This is for companies and collectives that boost a positive social impact, and for independent entrepreneurs.

Get away from the daily and reflect on where we are, where we go, who we are, elevate values and purpose and put them into words.

 

Active listening, creative processes and inspiring spaces

Those are active sessions. We experiment with creative processes to activate the senses and inspire reflection.

My role is to guide the sessions, ask the right questions and mentally synthetise ideas to build a narrative architectura, structure, storytelling and a strategic brand definition.

I believe in the power of words


Sesiones Extraordinarias

Words as a tool to inspire and drive change. We reflect and rethink who we are, where we are and where we are heading. We discover the beauty, elevate the hidden values, the purpose and the true story behind each project, enterprise or idea. We explore which words can come along our journey to inspire us and others, and drive change.

Session

FUTURES AND STORYTELLING



We explore future scenarios to understand priorities and how to communicate them. I encourage the flourish of ideas and together we understand what you can't miss, your narrative architectura and which words work better for you. By prioritizing ideas and concepts, we get in depth to areas you might not explored before and I craft an imagery and narrative that are born from people to help you elevate the beauty and values and put them into words.
 




Session

STORYTELLING AND IDENTITY



I build your narrative body and a conceptualisation of your brand identitty and strategy.  Through a group of sessions, I blend ideas and craft authentic narrative and brand imagineries that connect with emotions, the beauty and values. As a result, you get stories, taglines and humanized and authentic narratives that connect and inspire change.

EXPERIENCE

I've developed my own processes that help honest communications and the development of strategies and narratives capable of inspiring and driving change.


To have an idea, through my professional experience, I've been passionate to understand cultural changes, to encourage curiosity and active listening to people, and to contribute to collective narratives capable to connect, inspire and to open new opportunities, personal or social changes. 
After years working and studiying in different fields, both in the UK and in Europe, I've focused on social innovation and enviornmental projects. I've joined, for instance, Meanwhile Space CIC, a pioneering social enterprise at the forefront of Meanwhile uses, creating vibrant communities by bringing temporarily redundant spaceas a co-founder of a new spinn off. I've co-founded Unlimited Meanwhile Ltd. to scale Meanwhile uses in Europe and in the technology.

I followed my curiosity to understand how products are made, their social and enviornmental impact, and I joined Provenance Ltd., first as a Head of Projects, and a year later as a partner. Provenance is a start-up at the forefront of the blockchain technology to boost transparency of products both online and offline.
Co-founder of Quintanas –Ordeig - Honest Communications Agency and running AQSC my own consultancy on strategy and narrative.

I've been assessing and consulting for cities and sustainable brands on strategy, participatory processes, transparency and collective storytelling both in Europe and in the UK.

I've been always interested in finding new narratives that help people explain themselves, others, situations and contexts. Narratives to take into account, to relax, nourish, inspire and boost change.
