About Jayshree Patel

I believe we can build a better, more sustainable, world through strategic vision, clear and aligned communications, storytelling, and collaboration. My love of writing and storytelling can help your business align messaging for impact and purpose. Reach out if you need freelance or contract assistance for communications, storytelling or content creation that helps your organization make an impact, apply for funding, change culture, collaborate with partners, and inspire action. Having worked for the public sector, non-profits and as a business owner, I bring a diverse and collaborative perspective to any organization. With my first book project, I transformed my life from public service in New Zealand to author, art director, and businesswoman in the USA. I am the Founder of Ripple Press LLC an independent publishing company. I love doing school author visits and am available for speaking engagements. My award-winning children's book, One Drop, Endless Ripples explores the journey of water as it transforms not only itself but the environment it is a part of. Through this project, I plan to make an impact on all the things I care about: families, children, the environment, sustainability, and raising thriving human beings in an ever-changing world. If you are working on a project in which you can see potential to partner with me to create impact for children, literacy projects, sustainability or environmental projects, then please reach out. I love an impactful collaboration!
