Hi, I’m Gabriella. I’ve done some fun creative projects in the past, including a blog about visualizing vocabulary, a whole host of design work, playwriting, and more.

Right now I’m working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guyana, South America, but I decided to try something to keep myself writing and drawing. This is what I came up with… so welcome to A Story There.

You know those times when you overhear an intriguing snippet of conversation, or witness a highly charged moment, and feel as if you’ve only gotten a tiny piece of the puzzle? You think, “There must be a story there…”

A Story There takes those moments…bits of dialogue, weird marginalia found in a used book, snapshots of the daily lives of strangers…and expands them into original short stories and illustrations.

Want your own moment brought to life? Email astorythere@gmail.com.

I can’t wait to get started!
