About Me

Lisa Simon has more than 15 years experience in Journalism, Marketing Communications and E-learning in roles ranging from writer, resume consultant and project manager. I have interviewed hundreds of people throughout my career for newspaper and newsletter articles, business videos and online courses. In addition to REMEMBER MEdia, I am also currently a resume consultant where I interview people about their work experiences. I am a member of the Association of Personal Historians. I moved from Chicago to Hawaii in 2009.

What I Offer:

Experience and Expertise. For these historical video documentaries, I have an extensive list of questions – which I tailor for every person – and also have the experience to ask appropriate follow-up questions.
Equipment. I will supply a high-end digital camcorder with an additional professional lavaliere microphone. I also use professional editing software on my Mac to edit the interview and burn DVDs.
Immediacy. I won’t put this project off until it’s too late. This is the type of thing many people would love to do, but it’s always the last on their list and it never gets done.

About REMEMBER MEdia: I started the company in 2006. Since then I have interviewed numerous people, providing their families with DVDs as historical mementos. I came up with the idea for the business because my father had written stories of his life down in a book. I knew my Mom (a healthy 72-year-old at the time) would never do that, but I wanted to capture her stories, so I interviewed her. Then I realized that other people might also have the best intentions of capturing the personal history of their parents or grandparents, but never get around to it. I have extensive experience interviewing people and have become adept at video production. I am passionate about people's history and stories. Since I started my business I realized that capturing personal histories is a growing industry.
