The Experience
You direct. We do the heavy lifting.
You don't need to be tech savvy. After a consultation, you decide what you want to create or document; we carry it through. We come to you. We capture, curate, and preserve. You approve the vision.
01
Consultation
We discuss and discover what you'd like to achieve: a digital archive, a film, an oral history, a book, or something woven from all four. No commitment, no formula; just a conversation to understand what matters.
02
Evaluation
We help you gather the raw ingredients; digitising photos, unearthing letters, identifying the important topics and golden threads. Together we evaluate the assets and set the scope and structure of the project.
03
Curation
Bricolage is the art of selection; we don't use everything, we use what's of import, threading the materials into a journey. Together we decide what stays in, what gets highlighted, and the overarching mood of the work.
04
Production
Our team handles the technical heavy lifting: editing media, writing content, building the digital platform, or designing the book. You act as Creative Director, reviewing drafts to ensure the voice, tone, and feel are authentically yours.
05
Final Review
You review the work as a whole and we fine-tune the details: a date in a caption, a cut in a film, a colour palette. The result is a final product that's accurate and something you're proud to sign your name to.
06
Transfer
We deliver the physical artefacts or set up the digital platform in your name. The work becomes yours: viewable, shareable, and ready to be added to over the years.
We always aim for the experience of sharing your story to be as valuable and enjoyable as the end product itself.
What to expect
Timeline & cadence.
Most engagements run between three and nine months, depending on scope and the quantity of material to be unearthed. Shorter projects (a single audio-recorded story, a limited print edition) can be completed in four to six weeks. Larger archival undertakings or feature films may span a year.
Throughout, you’ll have a named point of contact, clear milestones, and no surprises. We work to deadlines we’ve agreed together, and we protect your time: you’re directing the project, not managing it.

Ready when you are.
Every project begins with a private consultation. No cost, no commitment — just a conversation to see if what we do fits what you need.
