Crafting Your Story
All of our services are based on in-person interviews, designed to be a comfortable and empowering storytelling experience.
These interviews are followed by a multi-stage writing and editing process, resulting in an authentic and moving narrative that stays true to your own voice.
Because a picture is worth a thousand words, we encourage you to provide photos and other illustrative materials to accompany your stories and enhance their impact.
The pièce de résistance is a professionally-designed hardcover legacy book that can be shared with friends, family and clients.
A Note from Inkwell’s Founder

My name is Priscillia de Muizon. As a business and land use attorney in Napa, I treasured every chance to hear my client’s stories. For instance, what brought an aspiring young vintner to the Napa Valley from abroad; how a couple launched their business on a shoestring budget; or how families with deep Napa roots have remained stewards of their land over generations.
My unquenchable curiosity for inspiring stories led me to create Innovators of the Valley featuring imaginative people in my community doing unconventional things. I was also inspired to interview my father and create a legacy book in honor of his 80th birthday.
From these experiences, Inkwell Story Studio was born. With Inkwell I embrace my passion for helping other families capture and preserve their most cherished stories in books that are thoughtfully written and meticulously designed.
