Your Legacy, Lovingly Crafted.
What’s your backstory?
Backstory. It's the history, experiences, and events that lead up to the main plot. The defining moments, triumphs, heartbreaks, turning points, and quiet revelations that have made you who you are.
Through guided conversations, we help unlock these stories. They are then documented and shared, a priceless gift for the people you love.
But here's what we've discovered: the real magic happens to you, the storyteller. With a skilled listener by your side, something extraordinary unfolds. Patterns emerge. Connections spark. You think "I've never thought of it that way before!" This isn't just preservation — it's discovery.
In our hyperconnected world, we choose the radical path of authentic human connection. No screens. No digital tools. No distractions. Just two people in conversation, creating a space where your stories can breathe. That's why we serve the San Francisco Bay Area exclusively, meeting in-person where you feel comfortable. This analog approach isn’t just our preference — it’s essential to our mission.
We are skilled interviewers and writers who help you capture your most meaningful stories through one-on-one guided storytelling sessions that result in a beautifully printed chapbook or collection of letters for your loved ones.
