Living Heirlooms is a collaborative studio that crosses borders, bringing together stories, people, and artists wherever they are around the world.

Some projects may include in-person gatherings, rituals, or celebrations. The studio itself unfolds across oceans and geographies — just like our stories do.

Living Heirlooms focuses on story gathering, meaning-making, and creative integration — not in-depth genealogy research or clinical therapy.

While the process can be deeply reflective and healing, it’s centered on collaborative creation and lived expression, rather than diagnostic treatment or family history research.

If you’re looking for genealogy support or therapeutic care, I’m happy to point you toward trusted partners.

I take on only a few Living Heirloom projects at a time so that each story can be held with the care it deserves.

If exploring a Living Heirloom feels right for you in this season, I encourage you to reach out here sooner rather than later to begin a conversation.

Each Living Heirloom is shaped by unique contexts — from the stories involved, to the artists and collaborators brought in, to the scale, timing, and whether the work is integrated into a gathering or milestone.

Rather than offering fixed packages, we work together to design a scope that feels aligned with your story, vision, and resources.

If you’re curious about creating a Living Heirloom, you’re welcome to fill out the inquiry form to begin a conversation and receive a custom quote.

No. Living Heirlooms are created through human collaboration and lived experience.

All artifacts and rituals are woven from live ideation, personal materials you share, conversations with loved ones, historical or archival records, and licensed work created by human artists.

I believe the process is the heart of the work. Even when it’s slower or less efficient than automation, the memories and growth we gain along the way from “getting our hands messy in the creative kitchen” are an essential part of what gives each heirloom its unique meaning and soul.

If your loved ones are more comfortable expressing themselves in a heritage language rather than English, we can involve trusted translators — from your community or mine — so their stories can be shared in the voice that feels most true.

If you already have someone in mind (such as a family member or friend), you’re welcome to mention them when you reach out.

Not at all. Some people arrive with a clear vision, while others come with a feeling, a story, or a question.

The first step of the process is listening together and allowing the form to emerge in response to the stories and intentions you hope to carry forward.

There’s flexibility. Some people enjoy being closely involved throughout the journey. Others prefer to entrust the studio to carry the vision to fruition on their behalf.

When you reach out to chat, we’ll find a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable for you.

Yes. Living Heirlooms is supported by a growing network of artists, designers, and makers who care deeply about embodied storycraft.

If you’re interested in collaborating or joining the collective, you’re welcome to get in touch and introduce yourself!

I partner with retreat hosts, coaches, churches, educators, and community organizers as an Integration Facilitator — helping participants transform their learning into meaningful artifacts that anchor and sustain their growth.

If you steward group experiences and are curious about collaboration, please get in touch and introduce yourself. I’d love to explore possibilities together!
