The UW Design Community’s September 27 session focused on the storytelling process featuring Bonnie Willison, video and podcast producer from Wisconsin Sea Grant.
Willison shared insight into the creative storytelling process—whether you’re producing news articles, podcasts, social posts, videos or other content. She shared her expertise on what good storytelling can do, the tactics she uses in her day-to-day work, examples and practical advice to get started with storytelling.
