I help legacy businesses, beloved institutions, and individuals tell their stories.
Have a big anniversary coming up? Is the next generation about to take over? Or are you simply ready to write it all down? Embark on a book project to record history, tell stories, share artifacts (like recipes, songs, and personal mementos), and write down what has been accomplished.
As your personal historian, I can help craft the story, capture photographs/artifacts, and bring the project to life through layout, editing, and production. The result is a priceless heirloom that is truly worth the investment.
Inspired by the Volante Farms cookbook (a Union Park Press custom project), restaurateur and entrepreneur Nadia Liu Spellman wanted to tell her family’s story through memoir and recipes.
Our project team took that idea through editorial, photography, writing, art direction, design, and production. The Dumpling Daughter cookbook is now in its third run and is a wildly successful part of the overall DD brand.
One of my favorite projects to date. This cookbook is a collection of recipes from the beloved farm, but so much more than that. Created to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Volante Farms, the cookbook also shares four generations of family history that led to the farm’s extraordinary success and longevity, with stories, photographs, and the Volante family’s heirloom recipes.
This was a Union Park Press custom project that gave us the chance to create something very special, with an incredible team.
