Lydia Griffiths

Expreienced Writer| Proven Track Record, Engaging Writing
My goal is to collaborate with great people to craft engaging stories through art, writing, and creative endeavors. I am to explore and share the power and relevance of myths in our modern world and popular culture. I seek to collaborate with great people on bold and innovative ideas. I am an experienced writer, researcher, and storyteller with over 10 years of experience within international, artistic, marketing, and performance spaces. I am a self-starter, and go-getter, skilled in leadership, teamwork, community development, content writing, and video editing. I bring a mythic lens to my work, drawing from ancient and contemporary sources of inspiration and resonance. I aim to craft stories that connect with audiences, spark imagination, and foster community.
