A LIVING ARCHIVE
More than a recording.
A way to be with them again.
Sitting with our elders is an ancient practice. It is how wisdom travels, how family stories survive, and how lineage lives on.
Lineage House creates space for you or the person you love to reflect in your own words. The result preserves not only what happened, but the expressions, pauses, humor, and spirit that make each person unmistakably themselves.
STORIES WORTH KEEPING
See highlights from new interviews, plus reflections on memory, family, and how to connect with our elders.

THE EXPERIENCE
A conversation with room to unfold.
Choose to record your own story, or invite someone you love. There is no script to perform and nothing to prepare perfectly. Niko offers thoughtful prompts, listens closely, and follows the stories wherever they lead.
01
We get to know the story
A brief conversation helps shape the people, chapters, and themes that matter most.
02
We sit down together
A warm, guided interview, never rushed or rigid. Family and close friends are welcome.
03
You receive an enduring heirloom
Choose the original conversation or a crafted film your family can return to for generations.
What are the moments that shaped your life—and what do you hope future generations remember?
LINEAGE HOUSE OFFERINGS
Choose the form your story will take.
Give the experience to someone you love, gather as a family, or sit down to preserve your own life in your own voice.
Not sure which fits? Start with a conversation. There is no pressure to decide first.
WHY LINEAGE HOUSE EXISTS
It began with my grandmother.
One afternoon, I sat with her and asked about her life, her memories, and her advice, recording it simply on an iPhone. Years after she passed, I still return to that video. It doesn’t just remind me who she was. It lets me be with her again.
That experience became Lineage House: a way to honor the people who carry entire lifetimes of meaning before their stories are lost.
