    Family History Interviews and Books

     

    I record people's stories and turn them into beautiful accessible books so friends and family members of all ages can engage with and learn from personal histories.

     

     

    I will conduct one-on-one interviews and research, to build a narrative of your life and then work with graphic designers to create a coffee table book so that your story is shared with future generations.

    Interviews with a grandmother led to a beautiful book with maps, recipes, and old photos about a life's journey from 1939 to 1989, juxtaposed against the context of wars and the creation of the Indian nation.

    Having lived through unexpected experiences around the world, from New York to post-communist Romania and chaotic Nigeria, an expat wife wanted to pen down the myths and realities of living in unknown worlds. I created a coffee table book with local mythology, political history and everyday tales.

    Social campaigns demand dense information be translated to relatable narratives for a specific audience. I spend time immersing myself in the problem and then create infographics or publications that simplify complex issues.
