Legacy projects can provide a sense of authentic completion, a way to curate your story on your terms.
With over 30 years of experience as an artist and curator, I help individuals leave their mark on this world.
I also collaborate with those who have lost someone dear through remembrance projects honoring their life.
Legacy Projects
Your legacy is all you leave behind.
A legacy project is a living gift - made with intention and shaped from memory and love. It can be gifted to the people who matter most, or left for the world as your unique footprint long after you are gone.
As an end-of-life doula and an artist, I work alongside you to create something that authentically reflects your memory.
This can come in the form of a piece of art, recorded audio/video messages, letters, or a book, to name a few.
Something that says, this is who I was, this is what I loved, this is for you.
Your story is yours to tell - I’m here to help you make it happen.
While legacy work is often associated with the end-of-life process, it doesn’t have to be.
There is no “correct moment” to begin this work, yet starting before a prognosis is often more calming.
Legacy work can also be done once a loved one has passed. We can collaborate on your vision for the project, as I work to bring it to life and help you honor someone dear who is no longer here.
A Few Ways You Can Leave Your Mark

Legacy Artwork
A painting, collage, or mixed-media artwork created in sessions together with meaningful purpose, no artistic experience needed.

A comprehensive recorded interview series capturing the full story of your life. Your story, told by you, in your voice.
Message Library
Individual personal audio or video messages for specific people in your life that can be shared or preserved.
The way you leave your mark is a reflection of who you are.
Each of our lives is like a fingerprint, meaning your human experience and your story are solely yours. The expression of that story is distinctive by nature, and the way you choose to leave a piece of yourself will act as proof of that.
For those who have passed, one of the greatest feelings of connection for those who are still here is to think of someone you miss dearly - it happens naturally and is only enhanced by visuals that remind you of the people that mean so much.
I would be honored to help tell those stories.
Everyone’s legacy looks different - that’s what makes it so special.

How We Can Get Started
Let’s schedule a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation where you can share your vision for how you would like to leave your mark or honor a loved one.
There is no pressure involved - this is simply a chance to see if we are a good fit.
From there, we’ll create a plan based on how you envision our collaboration on your legacy project. Some people want to focus on one or two elements, while others want a full-spectrum expression.
Because this is so individual, we can create a plan and timeline together.
Fees are customized based on the services needed. As we develop a plan, I can begin to offer options and suggestions that align with it.
I believe financial concerns shouldn’t prevent one’s access to legacy creation. I am happy to discuss what works for your particular situation.
