Inkwell Studio is a storytelling consultancy launched in 2026 by Michelle Stanfield, founder of Stanfield Consulting.

Built on a decade of organizational consulting work, Inkwell Studio exists to solve a problem that kept appearing across every sector: talented, capable people who couldn't find the language for who they are and what they do. Not because the story wasn't there. But because no one gave them the space, the framework, or the right questions to surface it.

Three practices. One belief.

Storytelling Coaching — we use the Hero's Journey framework to help clients examine growth, turning points, and the experiences that shaped their perspective. Clients leave with a Story Portfolio: narratives they can use in bios, interviews, introductions, and every context where their story needs to land.

Photography — professional imagery that represents who the client has become through the work. Headshots, senior portraits, graduation sessions, and storytelling sessions. Clarity comes first. The camera captures what's already there.

Narrative Branding — messaging, bios, and positioning language built on a real story. Not manufactured from the outside in.

We work with professionals stepping into visibility, students navigating high-stakes transitions, and organizations whose mission has outgrown their current story.

Clarity before visibility.
