Kathy Tarochione’s Summary
After spending many years in the healthcare and Internet Marketing industries, I decided to follow my passion of Digital Collage Artistry. I then became interested in video production. Combining the two has resulted in a fun, exciting and memorable business.
I find that many people have a drawer full of pictures or video tapes that have no meaningful memories. You may have had a death in the family and need a memorial collage/video. Or a "Corporate Collage" of your Associates is always nice too.
As a LIFESTORY DESIGNER, I take your photos, videos and your "own story" to create your "Forever Keepsake." The result is a beautiful LifeStory PhotoBook with a matching DVD and Photo Collage. All designed to tell your story. As a Remembrance Consultant, I assist in deciding which memories to capture in a Collage of pictures and/or Video/DVD. Then creating a LifeStory.
But that's not all. After a custom Collage is created, I offer some unique photo gifts. One of my favorites is a Photo Placemat. They are beautiful. Or a PhotoThrow. . .PhotoMat, Photo Pillowcases, Coasters and the list goes on.
One of my biggest requests is for my "Custom Photo Greeting Cards." They are fabulous--one of a kind!
I have provided marketing materials as well for various clients including Ebook covers, Logo Design and Business Card design.
All in all, I'm quite happy with my business and look forward to expanding it to provide services nationwide.
