Traces & Keeps is a collection of digital tools designed to make memory keeping simple.

From memory books and keepsake templates to Notion workspaces and practical guides, everything here is created to help you preserve the people, moments, and stories that matter—without having to start from scratch.

Whether you're documenting your own life, creating a meaningful gift, or building something your family can look back on someday, these tools are made to help you begin.

Traces & Keeps started as a personal project.

Before my dad passed away, he created a PowerPoint presentation and asked for it to be played during his funeral.

It was full of photos from his life and messages for the people around him.

As it played, people started sharing stories and remembering moments they had with him. Even in the middle of saying goodbye, there were smiles and laughter.

That stayed with me.

It made me realize how easily memories become scattered or forgotten. We take thousands of photos, yet the stories behind them often disappear with time.

I started Traces & Keeps because I wanted to create simple tools that help people keep those stories together—not just to remember the people we've lost, but also the life we're still living.
