Who am I?

Ruby is passionate about changing the stigma around dying and normalizing a healthy relationship with mortality and impermanence.

After experiencing many losses in her life and witnessing how quickly memories can disappear, she has dedicated her filmmaking skills to preserve the voices, laughter, and wisdom that families and friends hold most dear.

She also blends together her intellect, hospice experience, and the empathy and spiritual perspective gained through death doula training to support thoughtful end-of-life planning.

Every connection is rooted in compassion, presence, and the belief that every life deserves to be remembered.

My WHY

I know what it feels like to wish I could hear my father’s voice again—to hear him share his wisdom, laugh, or simply speak in the way only he did. That loss, among many others, shaped my desire to help people capture the voices, memories, and experiences of those they love while there is still time.

It also led me more deeply into end-of-life care. Through my work with hospice and my death doula training, I have come to see how much comfort can come from making space for conversations many of us have been taught to avoid. Talking about death does not make it come sooner. It can give people greater clarity, connection, and peace.

Whether I am helping someone preserve the essence of a life on film or supporting thoughtful conversations about their final wishes, I bring the same curiosity, compassion, and respect for the individual. I want people to feel seen, heard, and understood.

You don't have to wait until the end of life

Some people create a memoir film because they have received a difficult diagnosis.

Others do it for an 80th birthday.

Or an anniversary.

And some simply reach a point in life when they realize:

I want to leave this behind.

There doesn't need to be an emergency.

In fact, one of the best times to tell your story is while you are healthy enough to enjoy telling it.

Wherever your story lives, Ruby can come to you.

Your story doesn't need to happen in a studio. Often, the most meaningful place to tell it is home.
