Every engagement
begins with a question.
What needs to be preserved here? What has been reduced that shouldn't be? What would it mean for this person — this family, this organization — to hold people more fully?
SenStoria works across five areas. Each is distinct in scope and audience. All are unified by the same practice: Memory Experience Design — designing the conditions under which people remain visible, known, and whole across change.
01
Individual & family
★ START HERE
Remembering Together
A guided relational experience for preserving story, identity, and meaning before urgency arrives.
Some of the most important conversations between families never happen. Not because people don't want them, but because no one knows how to begin.
Remembering Together is a structured experience grounded in reminiscence therapy and narrative psychology. It guides families through six chapters of meaning-making — not just memory retrieval. The result is not a scrapbook or a record. It is an experience of being genuinely seen and held.
Available as a beautifully designed digital guide with a companion PDF. Designed for families who want to begin before change arrives — and for those already in the middle of it.
This is for individuals and families at any stage — early prevention, active aging, navigating diagnosis, or wanting to preserve a story before time makes it harder.
02
Families in Transition
Guided Remembering
Relational continuity design for families navigating early memory change or significant life transition.
This is not therapy alone, nor memoir writing, nor crisis management. It is a facilitated process that helps families develop the shared language, relational practices, and sensory anchors that keep a person fully present in the lives of those who love them — even as things change.
Guided Remembering draws on reminiscence, narrative, and family systems frameworks to help families move from managing change to designing around it with intention and care.
This is for families navigating early cognitive change, significant role transition, or the quiet awareness that something important needs to be preserved — and who want more than a digital guide can offer.
03
Organizations
Memory & Meaning Design Consulting
Experience design for care organizations, cultural institutions, and systems that want to hold people more fully.
Most care organizations are designed around safety and efficiency. Both matter. But what often gets built out of the system is the relational texture — the shared language, the sensory environment, the daily practices that keep a person recognizable to the people caring for them.
SenStoria works with organizations at a systems level — redesigning environments, developing shared language frameworks, building the relational infrastructure that keeps dignity and identity visible at scale. Working across North America and Europe.
This is for senior living operators, memory care facilities, hospice organizations, healthcare systems, and cultural institutions seeking to strengthen the human experience layer of their work — not just the operational one.
04
Organizations
Workshops & Speaking
Interactive programs for professional communities, care teams, cultural organizations, and public audiences.
SenStoria's workshop and speaking work brings Memory Experience Design into rooms where it can shift thinking — and practice. Sessions are interactive, intellectually grounded, and designed to leave participants with frameworks they can actually use.
Topics are drawn from across the practice and can be adapted for half-day, full-day, or conference formats. Available in person and virtually, for audiences across North America and Europe.
Sample Topics → Designing Relational Continuity in Early Memory Change · Shared Language for Dignity-Centered Care · Caregiver Identity and Wellbeing · Remembering Together as Relational Infrastructure · Introduction to Memory Experience Design.
05
Participatory
Cultural & Immersive Experiences
Public explorations of memory, identity, and intergenerational connection — designed to be felt, not just understood.
This is SenStoria's most expansive work — and its most experimental. Installations, dementia-friendly cultural experiences, participatory performances, and community events that invite people to encounter the questions of Memory Experience Design in embodied, unexpected ways.
This work builds cultural authority for the field and creates access points for people who would never walk through the door of a care organization or a therapy practice — but who are carrying the same questions.
This is for theatres, galleries, museums, libraries, community arts organizations, and public bodies interested in co-creating experiences at the intersection of memory, aging, identity, and art. Open to proposals and partnership conversations.
