I produce and direct documentary-style films that reveal the humanity behind complex work.
I'm an award-winning producer and director with over a decade of industry experience. Agencies, production companies, and brand teams bring me on when they need a strategist's ear, a calm presence with everyone from CEOs to community members, and a crew that can deliver anywhere. Based in the Mid-Atlantic, available to work anywhere.
what i bring to a set
Interviews, from the C-suite to the community
Whether I'm sitting with a CEO or a community member, I lead with empathy and active listening. My style is conversational, so it feels less like being on camera and more like a real talk. I'm there to put you at ease and set you up for success, so you leave proud of how you showed up.
field production, trusted teams, anywhere
I've produced in every major U.S. market and up into Canada, from urban centers to rural towns, with trusted crews in each region. I lead with scrappy, no-ego servant leadership. My job is to remove the barriers so my crew can walk in their brilliance.
strategy-first, culturally fluent
I spent nearly a decade inside sustainability and impact work at Interface, GreenBiz, and Discovery Education. I speak the language of community finance, clean energy, and racial equity, and I bring the cultural fluency to tell those stories with nuance and respect. You spend less time briefing me on set, and every shot is built toward the real goal.

ABOUT JARAMI
A storyteller who's been in the room
The most transformational work in the world has always had a story worth telling. Clean energy, community finance, equitable development: organizations doing this work rarely lack purpose or proof — they lack the bandwidth, expertise, and creative infrastructure to translate complexity into stories that move people.
My path to narrative work was forged in the field — nearly a decade inside leading organizations, working at the intersection of sustainability, social impact, and strategic communications. That time taught me what makes a story truly resonate and gave me a deep understanding of how human-centered narrative builds trust, moves audiences, and sustains impact over time.
Over the years I've shaped campaigns, scaled an award-winning production company (Bond Studio), produced globally-recognized films and content, and built narrative architecture that carries organizational stories forward with strategy, creativity, and care.
This work has taken me to global stages – delivering talks for Opportunity Finance Network, Inclusiv, B Lab Global, Google, Yale University and more, engaging over 11,000 professionals and students and earning recognition from Trellis Group as a 30 Under 30 along the way.
The Fractional Narrative Strategist model exists because I see the same gap everywhere. Mission-driven leaders need more than a vendor. They need someone who can show up as a genuine extension of their team, invested in the mission, present in the work, and committed to building stories that reflect the full power of what they’ve built and accelerates what comes next. That's what I offer.
