Back in 2016 we decided that we would create a software application that would allow us to create someone’s life story. It would include stories, events, people and a complete range of media including video, audio, images, documents, and social media. It took several years to complete and during that period we gained a lot of experience in knowing how to create a life story. We also realised that the software we were creating had a much broader range of applications than we had originally intended, so we added anthologies and events to a growing list of products that could be created with the software.

Today, we create bespoke LifeStories on a commission basis using our own Studio software (as shown above). The anthologies, biographies and event mementos that we create are tailored to your exact requirements and can be delivered on a dedicated iPad.

LifeStories typically include three elements:

Stories are the components that make up a larger LifeStory. Stories can be organised into categories to suit the LifeStory.

What makes stories so unique is that we can include multiple different media types in a story, including audio, video, photos, and social media posts.

Connections are the people who are involved in the LifeStory. For a biography, this would typically be family and friends.

The positioning of each person is based on concentric circles. You can choose to have the more relevant people towards the centre, or you can simply opt for random positioning.

The Timeline is the chronological representation of all of the events in the LifeStory. An event can be a story or a discrete piece of media (e.g. a video, a FaceBook post or a snippet of a WhatsApp chat). For biographies, births and deaths of connections can also be represented on the timeline.
