About us
At Storytailor, we transform kids’ wildest ideas—think booger monsters and time-traveling llamas—into stories so magical, they can’t stop shouting, “Let’s do it again!” From parents to therapists, teachers to child life specialists, our platform brings the power of bibliotherapy to life—turning big emotions into bigger adventures and sparking giggles, wonder, and growth along the way. Because at Storytailor, we believe every child deserves stories as whimsical, wacky, and wonderfully unique as they are.

The time for nonsense is NOW. Report for duty. (Heh. Duty.)
🚨 URGENT: IMAGINATION EMERGENCY 🚨 Reports confirm a sharp decline in unnecessary giggling, mid-meeting nonsense, and general whimsy. Creativity is at risk. This is not a drill. The Imagination Crisis Level has reached Tier 5—people are forgetting how to have fun. If we don’t act fast, we could be looking at a future where: - Kids don’t laugh at the word booger. - Tea parties? Canceled indefinitely. - Imaginary friends? On strike. - Fart jokes? Lost to time. I refuse to let this happen. Because of this, I have officially been sworn in as Director of the Department of F.U.N. (Forging Unstoppable Nonsense) and Herston Fails as Deputy Director, where we take nonsense seriously, so you never have to. And we take our jobs very seriously. For too long, I’ve watched as grown-ups sit in meetings with no rubber chickens in sight. As children were told to “act their age” (as if six-year-olds shouldn’t be wearing capes in grocery stores). As the sacred tradition of giggling at the word ‘duty’ was nearly lost forever. Not on my watch. If you believe in the power of ridiculousness, consider yourself recruited. Your first assignment: - Report to Storytailor.com for immediate nonsense deployment. - Tag a fellow recruit who needs to be sworn in as an official Deputy of F.U.N. Failure to comply will result in a severe citation for Taking Life Too Seriously. Consider yourself warned. The time for nonsense is NOW. Report for duty. (Heh. Duty.) ------ Yes, we are fully aware that this badge looks ridiculously official. That is intentional. No, we are not impersonating real law enforcement. No, we are not stopping traffic, investigating real crimes, or making citizen’s arrests. This badge exists solely for the purposes of satire, humor, and general ridiculousness. It holds absolutely zero legal authority, jurisdiction, or power—except the unquestionable right to deploy nonsense in appropriate (and inappropriate) settings. If this concerns you, please report to your nearest FUN representative for mandatory silliness training. Failure to comply will result in immediate deployment of a rubber chicken.

Product-market fit matters, but founder-market fit defines who builds and who lasts. Startups that align deeply with a founder’s expertise and lived experience are 230% more likely to scale successfully. A founder inseparable from the mission doesn’t quit when markets shift, technology evolves, or challenges arise. I am that founder. The first entrepreneur I admired was Willy Wonka. That inspiration drove me to spend over 20 years as a children’s book author and illustrator, ensuring kids see themselves in stories. I was mentored by award-winning authors and illustrators, guided by leaders at Hallmark during my teenage years, and won over 20 awards before I turned 15. Stories shape childhood. They build confidence, spark imagination, and create moments that last a lifetime. To elevate storytelling, I studied acting, scriptwriting, and directing to deepen my understanding of character and perspective. I also learned software engineering, design, and startup leadership, working with early-stage startups to build scalable solutions. Beyond leading Storytailor, I’ve helped authors reach the New York Times Bestseller List and am releasing my sixth picture book this year. Most storytelling platforms are built by engineers, educators, or tech founders who understand AI but miss the nuance of nonsense, the power of whimsy, and the magic of childhood. Storytailor Inc. was built by a storyteller. Our growth isn’t measured by screen time, but by what happens because of it. We build technology that sparks imagination, bonding, and play. Families create silly stories together, then take them offline, to run, pretend, and bring them to life. I grew up transforming my home into worlds of monsters, aliens, and Peter Pan, and those moments shaped my creativity, confidence, and mental health more than anything. Storytailor fuels memory-making, active storytelling, and raising kids who dream big—farting dragons and all. That is the reason why Storytailor exists and what we’ll build on more in the coming years. Wildly Imaginative content to spark epic bonding moments and classic memories adults and children will never forget. Every child deserves the best childhood imaginable. If you believe in this mission as an investor, partner, or changemaker in children’s lives, let’s connect.

We started with a belief. That deep down in every adult exists a bright-eyed child. A six-year-old. A child who still believes in wonder. A child who still embraces imagination. A child who sees the world as what it could be instead of fearing what it will never be. For every adult that embraces their inner child, the world nudges forward. Visionaries emerge. And dreamers reignite. Childhood becomes cool again instead of a disease that cures with age. How can you tell a child to follow their dreams, if you are too busy burying yours? How can you tell a child to believe, when you have lost belief in yourself? The hard truth is that children do not do what you say. They do as you do. And when you stop treating your inner child as a curse, maybe they’ll stop trying so hard to grow up. That is why we must make a change. We must remember when nonsense made sense and that imagination is the strongest power in the universe. Our inner child needs to be provoked, and once it is, we can embrace the world’s—together.

Children spell love as T-I-M-E. Nothing matters more.
It’s not about the biggest gifts or the perfect moments; it’s showing up, being present, and making memories that last. A bedtime story. A laugh shared. A few extra minutes of listening. Because to a child, love isn’t measured in things. It’s measured in time. #Parenting #Childhood #Love #FamilyTime #Storytelling
