Work with me

I help organisations, communities and curious travellers connect across cultures through communication, storytelling and meaningful experiences.

I’m Nisreen Akolawala, a Sydney-based multicultural communications consultant, cultural storyteller and experiential travel specialist.

My work brings together more than a decade of experience across multicultural communications, health campaigns, government and not-for-profit projects, content strategy, community engagement, travel design, architecture, art and cultural storytelling.

I work best with people and organisations who care about meaning, nuance and human connection.

Whether I’m shaping a campaign for culturally diverse communities, writing content that builds trust, designing a cultural journey through India, or helping a brand communicate with more depth, my role is the same:

I help make communication feel clear, culturally aware and human.

Who I Work With

I’m a good fit for:

• Tourism and travel businesses
• Cultural and creative brands
• Education providers
• Small businesses with a strong purpose
• Community groups and women’s groups
• Travellers seeking deeper India experiences

I am not the right fit if you are looking for cheap, quick, high-volume content with no strategy behind it.

My work is thoughtful, culturally informed and grounded in lived experience, research and human understanding.

Why Work With Me

I bring a rare mix of skills across communication, culture, content, design and travel.

I have worked on multicultural campaigns, health communication projects, community-focused content, travel products, destination storytelling and creative projects across Australia and India.

I understand how to communicate with people who do not always feel seen by mainstream messaging.

I also understand how culture, family, migration, language, place, memory and identity shape the way people receive information and make decisions.

That is the lens I bring to every project.
