DEANTE YOUNG - I help document and preserve your formation, not your status

About
I document legacy stories for notable people—capturing the life moments behind their impact, not the accomplishments. My work focuses on something more profound: the childhood struggles, family wisdom, mentors' advice, and personal battles that explain why someone does what they do. Every notable person has a story worth preserving beyond the highlight reel.
Digital Exhibits
A 7-panel story experience that captures the transformative life experiences (through artifacts) that articulate the subject's values. I use my proprietary framework called, "LIVESET."
