My Story

Growing up immersed in the Disney and motion picture industry sparked my passion for storytelling. I have spent decades guiding others in bringing their stories to life through book design, graphic arts, and media. ​

 

When I was young, I received wise advice from the Legendary Disney Artist, Herb Ryman, it was, "Liz, now remember, your talent doesn't belong to you; you need to give it away." As a teenager, I didn't fully understand the wisdom behind the advice, but as highly as I admired Herb, I kept that nugget of advice close to my heart. Now, understanding the wisdom in Herb's advice, my passion with The Story Collective is to share my talent and experience with storytelling to help others tell their stories in whatever media they desire. Whether it's helping someone articulate their own story, family history, a special event, compiling collective stories, designing a beautiful historic wall piece, or publishing a book, in helping others to share their story, together we can become part of rebuilding today's society that has become so disconnected from each other and reality. 

 

My husband, Keith, of 43 years, brings a wealth of experience in storytelling through pastoring, international speaking, university teaching, and mentoring. Keith's strength in guiding others through their storytelling process is a key component to making our mission a success. Together, we hope to help you discover your voice and strength by sharing your story.
