About us
We make keepsakes for people trying to love better.
Mi Amor Mi Vida is us: Antonio and Kirsten. Everything here comes from our relationship: a careful computer scientist from Southern Italy and a loud, creative, adventure-seeking dental hygienist from Roatan.
The combination
Technical depth meets restless creativity.
Antonio builds the systems and product logic. Kirsten brings the taste, energy, questions, and eye for what feels human.
The reason
Love is harder than matching. That is the point.
The hard parts of love are rarely lack of feeling. They are communication, distance, culture, family, money, food, language, and repair.
The proof
A relationship can cross the world.
Southern Italy, Switzerland, Roatan, Virginia. None of it was convenient. That is why the story matters.
Antonio
PhD in Computer Science. Faculty in the United States.
Antonio is from the south of Italy. He left home for Switzerland, earned his PhD in Computer Science, and accepted an offer to become a university faculty member in the United States at 28.
He brings software, automation, AI workflows, production systems, and the patience to make an idea work after the first draft falls apart.
Kirsten
Dental hygienist. Creative engine. Adventure first.
Kirsten is a dental hygienist with a huge creative streak and a curiosity that turns a normal weekend into a new plan, story, or product idea.
She brings taste, rhythm, honesty, emotional memory, and the instinct to ask the question everyone else is trying to avoid.
Why we talk about it
People are more connected than ever, and still getting lonelier.
We do not tell our story because it was easy. It was not. We came from different countries, languages, families, habits, and ways of moving through the world.
That is why it matters. Staying in love requires better questions, better memory, better translation, and a willingness to keep choosing the person after romance gets complicated.
What this became
A small house of products built from our own challenges.
The products come from our relationship: conversations we needed, memories we wanted to keep, and the shared language we had to build from scratch.
- Personal books from real photos and stories
- Illustrated editions that make memories easier to keep
- Free Love cards for couples who need a small weekly reminder
- Salt y Pepper, our book for interracial and international couples
The next chapter
