Dori Fussmann

Dori Fussmann leads Album Amicorum, an independent studio behind an illustrated Friend Book that children fill in by hand — turning the notes, drawings, and small messages of childhood friendships into a keepsake worth keeping. His background is in building consumer brands, and he started writing here out of a conviction that the memories that matter most belong off-screen. These articles draw on child-development research and the work of experts such as Jonathan Haidt.
