Storytelling for purpose
Human-centred writing for organisations with something meaningful to say.
I've spent my career believing that well-crafted communication can genuinely change how people understand the world, and what they do in it.
I’ve worked across media, arts, cultural, corporate, government and not-for-profit contexts. With a Master of Applied Linguistics, a background in fiction and poetry editing, and a journalist's instinct for the story worth telling, my work is grounded in structural rigour and energised by genuine feeling. My interest in how language works across cultures, formats and registers runs through all of it.
Alongside my writing practice, I work as a sound artist and folkloric/narrative audio producer, with projects for cultural and public organisations and corporations in Australia and Europe. It's the same craft, different frequencies: voice, structure, pacing, and the shape of a story that holds attention. (Explore my sound and broadcast work at lisagreenaway.com.)
A note on this symbol: drawn for me by my late friend and collaborator Nick Azidis, it borrows from the kanji for sky, or heavens, and also evokes the tall electrical pylons that stride across waters and lands of Australia. As communicators we strive to be conduits between spheres of message, outlook, and being.
