She helps brands, institutions, and campaigns craft messaging that connects, converts, and creates impact across digital platforms, live experiences, and public engagement spaces.

Beyond institutional work, Wani maintains an active professional practice as a published author, editor, curator, and performer, working across publishing, broadcast writing, festivals, workshops, and narrative branding. This cross-sector experience enables her to develop campaigns that move seamlessly between digital, live, and media platforms.
She holds a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from Macquarie University, a First-Class Honours Bachelor’s degree in Screen Arts, and a Diploma in Performing Arts (Writing) from Universiti Teknologi MARA.
