Stories that combine passion, a deep sense of purpose, and personal experiences with business narratives are common in the busy world of entrepreneurship. RetroScripts’ creative director, Kimberley Rivando Robb, personifies this fusion by skilfully piecing together her experiences, goals, and sources of inspiration into a one-of-a-kind creation. Kimberley started her journey with a foundation in academia and a passion for language and writing.
Equipped with a degree in English Language and Literature, a post graduate degree in Journalism New Media as well as a PSW diploma, she set on to discover the world. Kimberley looks back with nostalgia on her time at Brock, emphasizing how important a part the school played in determining her future. “Sports was great there,” she remembers, giving a nod to her enthusiastic involvement in the rugby squad.
But it was a life-changing experience Kimberley had while working at a hospice that set her on her path to transformation. On a quiet night shift, Kimberley was comforting a patient who was showing fear. She naively asked why her patient was afraid of dying in the hopes of easing her pain, but was told it wasn’t death she was afraid of instead she was afraid of being forgotten. This sparked something inside of Kimberley, a desire to investigate this notion further. Influenced by compassion and a common interest in narratives, Kimberley started working with the patient to help her write a quick recount of her life to leave behind for her family. This moving event acted as a pivot, pushing Kimberley in the direction of her real purpose.
Today, Kimberley steers her love of writing into a multifaceted endeavour that breaks beyond traditional limits as the founder of RetroScripts. RetroScripts is a haven where life stories are preserved, self-care is celebrated as an art form, and community involvement is key. It is more than just a business.
It’s a dedication to authenticity and excellence is at the heart of RetroScripts’ culture. Every aspect of Kimberley’s business, from the locally sourced, natural ingredients in her self-care products to the intimate, tailored memoir and legacy ,writing services, grief support, etc. is imbued with her fastidious attention to detail. It’s a labour of passion that resonates profoundly with clients who are looking for meaningful experiences and real connections—far beyond simple profit margins.
The Sisters of RetroScripts represent a wide range of nourishing energies, each of which cultivates a special channel for individual development and creativity.
