SAVE JOURNALISM. DARKEN THE SKIES.
I’m a founder and the co-CEO of acclaimed, women-led media company, Hidden Compass, where we’re reimagining the business of journalism and providing the antidote to clickbait and “junk food” media. And as an award-winning journalist and photographer, I’m on a mission to darken the skies and defend the value of journalism.
BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
I believe when we have the will to act, humans are capable of making the big changes needed to solve humanity’s greatest challenges. But we won’t take the right action without reliable information, information that requires a collective respect for expertise.
As a photographer, journalist, and explorer with strong academic roots, I tell detail-rich stories grounded in research that build connections to the past, the future, and the planet. I create immersive stories that challenge and inform readers in order to push us to action.
TOGETHER, WE CAN TURN THIS SHIP AROUND
Sometimes I do this through my own work, sometimes I support others through my company, Hidden Compass, and periodically I do this by hosting workshops and lectures to teach others how to create stories that move people.

“Sivani is a powerhouse. Her presentation on Storytelling and the Law was unlike anything I've heard, combining science, psychology, history, and literature to inspire my law students to think outside the box.
