Every Life Has a Story Worth Preserving.

Memoria began with my grandparents. Shortly before my grandmother lost consciousness and was hospitalized, she tried to write down the story of her life by hand. By then, holding a pen had become difficult. Her handwriting was so unsteady that even she struggled to read what she had written. After a little more than a page, she became discouraged and stopped.

Not long after, she lost consciousness and never had the chance to continue. I kept thinking about those unfinished pages—and about all the stories she still carried but never had the opportunity to leave behind. I wished there had been a simpler way for her to tell them: one that did not require steady hands, typing, or knowing where to begin. A way that let her just talk.

My grandfather’s story followed a different path. He spent years documenting his life and self-published his memoir. Today, I am translating it into English so his stories can travel across languages and reach another generation. That is why I created Memoria.
