Story Studio
Your story, told well.
From the moments you saved, it drafts your "tell me about yourself" answer, bios, LinkedIn copy, résumé bullets, cover letters and video scripts. Nothing is invented; every line comes from what you saved.
Every turn is part of your story
Your career was never meant to fit on one page.
Build a body of work from the wins and turning points your résumé or CV doesn't show. Story Studio puts your story into words, and your portfolio tells it with photos, video and proof.
What a résumé shows, and what it leaves out.

Who it's for
Built for you if...
You were laid off
And you're tired of explaining it to a form.
You're returning after a break
Caregiving, health, study. It was still a real chapter.
You're changing careers
Your skills travel. You need the words to show it.
You're 20 years in
And a one-page résumé leaves most of it out.
Why this exists
One hard year is not who you are.
A long job is more than one bullet. A break is not a blank. Keep the full story, so you can tell it well.

Draft
I've spent my career moving between the people who build things and the people who buy them. At Meridian I turned a two-person operations desk into a team that could hold a room. Before that I learned to listen in customer success, and before that I sold. There was a year I stayed home with my dad, and it taught me more than any job did.
