Tell your family's unique story in an enduring heirloom.
Hello! I’m Kristine Remer, the creator behind StoryMap Studio, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I share my studio with my shop mascot, Basil. #MinnesotaProud
I’ve spent more than 30 years uncovering my family's stories as an avid genealogist and family historian. I love transforming those discoveries — and the memories my family makes while traveling — into meaningful keepsakes that celebrate where we’ve been and who we come from.
Our Family Legacy Book Templates are the ultimate shortcut for confident DIY family historians. With no software to purchase, you can start creating a polished, enduring heirloom that will engage generations to come (even if you only have names, dates, and places).
In addition to genealogy, I am a travel enthusiast... and love transforming travel memories into beautifully designed, highly visual story maps and keepsakes that go beyond photos — combining imagery, itineraries, and personal highlights into a one-of-a-kind visual narrative. Photos help us remember what you saw, travel story maps help us remember where we went!
My professional background is rooted in research, writing, design, and publishing (from yearbooks to photo books). I hold a bachelor’s degree in journalism and art and a master’s degree in business, blending creativity with a practical eye for detail.
