What i offer

Authenticity reviews, cultural sensitivity, Roma representation, Balkan, Slavic, and Eastern European folklore, symbolic and archetypal frameworks for character and world-building.

Examples of areas I consult on:

• Cultural sensitivity & symbolism in stories

• Cultural research

• Representation review

• Stereotype identification

• Cultural context

• Community dynamics

• Customs and traditions

• Historical context

• Identity and belonging

• Cultural symbolism

• Representations of Roma culture (music, community life, history, myths)

• Archetypes, trauma, and female psychology in storytelling

• Indigenous Balkan and Eastern European folklore and shamanic themes

Who I’ve worked with:

• Pixar Animation Studios

• Novelist fantasy authors

• Children’s fairytale authors and indie game creators seeking mythic resonance and depth

Developmental editing, story consulting, script coverage, co-writing. Particularly for projects exploring layered psychology, trauma, or misrepresented/ misunderstood cultures.

Consulting can include:

• Character psychology

• Character development

• Archetypes

• Hero's Journey

• Mythological structures

• Symbolism

• Ancestral themes

• Female psychological development

• Emotional and psychological motivations

• Story architecture

Sometimes the problem isn't the story. It's what the story accidentally says.

I can review existing characters, scenes, concepts, or storylines and identify:

• Cultural inaccuracies

• Unintended stereotypes

• Psychological inconsistencies

• Symbolic patterns

• Representation issues

• Missed opportunities for deeper meaning

This can be particularly useful during development, before a project moves into production.

Complex ideas deserve clear, compelling writing.

I write essays, long-form articles, cultural analysis, thought leadership, and other narrative nonfiction.

I can also help shape an existing piece of writing through:

• Structural editing

• Developmental editing

• Voice

• Narrative structure

• Research

• Story development

I have experience translating complex ideas into writing that sounds like the person behind them.

This includes essays, articles, thought-leadership pieces, and purpose-driven content.

My approach is collaborative: I first understand the person's ideas, voice, and worldview, then turn them into writing that feels authentically theirs.
