Dash Donato

As a filmmaker, storyteller, and Enneagram teacher, I specialize in helping writers and creatives craft deeply authentic, multidimensional characters using the Enneagram. With over a decade of experience telling stories that center marginalized voices, I bring a unique perspective to character development and personal transformation—particularly within the queer community.

Writing is hard enough without getting lost in the weeds of plot mechanics and character inconsistencies. That’s where the Enneagram comes in—it serves as a character compass, guiding your storytelling with clarity and emotional depth. Through coaching sessions and workshops, I help writers map out their characters’ motivations, fears, and inner conflicts, ensuring their arcs feel natural and compelling. Whether you're developing a novel, screenplay, or short story, this framework allows you to write from the inside out, making every scene, dialogue exchange, and plot twist resonate on a deeper level.

Beyond writing, the Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal transformation. I offer one-on-one coaching to explore how your Enneagram type influences your approach to storytelling, relationships, and life itself—helping you break old patterns, harness your strengths, and navigate challenges.

If you're a writer, creative, or queer individual looking to craft unforgettable characters or deepen your self-awareness, I offer practical, tailored guidance that blends storytelling expertise with Enneagram insight. Let’s work together to bring your characters—and your true self—to life.
