Our
Story.
From Mandy Chan, Founder & President of Vidigami:
Dear Vidigami Community,
I would like to start by sharing why I think Vidigami is special — it’s not just because we organize photos, but it’s because we help capture the moments that tell the stories that are unique to your students, families and your school.
We understand the power of stories and its impact on cultivating belonging and community. We start with photos because they are the quintessential building blocks of stories. The contributions from your staff, faculty, students and families provide the context to the stories that connect you, as a community and your members to each other.
Most recently, we met a couple of brilliant colleagues who captured the essence of Vidigami so eloquently, by saying:
“Vidigami goes beyond mere image storage, you’re helping communities weave the fabric of their shared experiences.”
Vidigami was founded because I wanted a private and secure place where I could have a glimpse into my sons’ school experience beyond the classroom, to witness their growth unfold as they become “fine young men”.
As a parent, I’ve benefited from the joy of seeing moments I could’ve only imagined (I must admit those moments made me feel much better about all the tuition I was paying).
I remember seeing a photo of my son backcountry snowboarding, down a pristine mountain during a very challenging Outdoor Ed trip out to the Canadian Rockies. To this day, my only reaction is “WOW”, followed by a sense of pride over his accomplishment.
As an alum, my son still reflects on that moment as an experience with awe – the people, the food, the cold, the struggles and the incredible sense of achievement.
Thank you for being part of the Vidigami community and for working with us as we continue to build our future!
President and Founder
We Believe in:
Authenticity
We believe the most powerful stories are real ones—everyday moments that reflect the true culture and values of a community.
Community first
Schools are living communities. Everything we build is designed to strengthen connection, inclusion, and shared ownership of the story.
Trust and care
Handling school media requires responsibility. We prioritize privacy, respect, and thoughtful sharing so families feel safe and confident.
Clarity and simplicity
Busy educators need tools that work intuitively. We focus on making media easy to collect, organize, and find—without added complexity.
Long-term belonging
We support communities not only in attracting families, but in keeping young people, their families, and the educators dedicated to their development engaged and connected over time through meaningful visual stories.
Leadership Meet Vidigami
Photos are the building blocks of our stories.
The more your community shares, the more they help enrich the personal stories of each student and their connection to your school and each other.
Is Vidigami is the right fit for your school?
