When my friend Tyler turned 30, my partner Matt and I helped his wife collect words from all his friends and family and together we made a book. We expected it would be fun, but didn’t anticipate the delight it generated, not just for Tyler, but for everyone involved. This joyful experience was the inspiration for Fondfolio. Since our launch in 2015, our mission has been to facilitate meaningful gift giving for special moments and relationships around the world.
Fondfolio is a self-funded venture between myself and my partner Matt. He does most of the web development work and is deeply involved with the design as well as every little thing that I need a second opinion on. This project would not exist without his efforts.
We continue to be delighted and encouraged by the responses from our customers.
“I was beyond blown away by my Fondfolio, which I got for my birthday. It moved me to tears. It is such a gorgeous book - a physical manifestation of love. I am STILL glowing from it and will treasure it for the rest of my life : ) I am so grateful to Fiona for her loving care in putting it together! It is truly the best gift I've ever received.”
