New story, old soul.
Based out of Toronto and Calgary, with clients across North America, Story House Ideas is the creative brainchild of Erin Ryan-Walsh and Susan Traxel. Our special brand of storytelling is confidently effervescent, influenced by a blend of institutional knowledge and creative anarchy, and bolstered by a lifelong obsession for the printed word.
