About Us
Our Story
Our story began with a common realization many families face — the increasing need to manage and organize essential life information. As health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, and the complexities of daily living converged, our family found ourselves in constant conversations about these pressing matters.
Reaching a stage in life where health and well-being became top priorities and life changes occurred rapidly, we encountered the daunting task of managing intricate details for each family member. Despite advancements in technology, we noticed that life’s critical information remained scattered across various platforms and not everyone in the family is tech savvy.
The process of sharing, accessing and discussing this vital information was cumbersome, tiresome, and ineffective. We desperately needed a streamlined system that worked for all of us.
We believe in the enduring power of pen and paper to effectively organize this information. We also believe that you can’t manage what you don’t see. These beliefs, rooted in our personal experiences, fueled the creation of Northstar Folio products designed to help you —
’Keep Life’s Information Useful’ and guide you toward your North Star.

Have You Experienced These Issues With Your Family?
■ Caring For Aging Parents
Balancing full-time jobs and long-distance caregiving for our non-tech-savvy parents.
■ Health Information Overload
Trying to efficiently track and organize health data for ourselves and family members facing multiple health issues to ensure we were making the best decisions.
■ Health Professional Coordination
Managing numerous professionals for ourselves, parents
and siblings to proactively be prepared to achieve the best interactions in the short amount of time we had with them.
■ Financial & Household Affairs
Realizing the need for clear, organized documentation to manage household and financial affairs in case of unforeseen events. What if I wasn’t here? Could my husband step in and run the household?
■ Technology Solutions
We love technology BUT existing solutions are cumbersome and time-consuming and there isn’t one holistic answer. What happens when technology isn’t available on the day you need it?
■ Professional Irony
Despite a 30-year career in the financial industry, our own financial information was scattered, making it challenging to see a holistic picture and make informed decisions, leaving money on the table? As they say, ‘The cobbler’s children have no shoes.’
