Serious fun for serious impact.
Working at the intersection of storytelling, community, ephemerality, and radical play, we collaborate with creatives, designers, brands, and organizations to create narrative experiences that inspire, invigorate, celebrate, and transform (and have a good time while doing it).
Founded in 2022, our work takes shape across a variety of media from dinner parties to dance floors, immersive experiences, themed activations, live entertainment, narrative campaigns and communications, conferences, installations, and more for clients and communities of all sizes across the globe.
In addition to client work, we create original experiences and research opportunities including play.time, an experience for adults designed to access your inner child; for.inspiration, a collection of experiential resources; and anonymous intimacy, an upcoming text and workshop series exploring the design of trauma-informed entertainment.

We believe in research, and that there is rarely a "one-size-fits-all" answer to most creative challenges. Trained in design research and theater, our team combines these skills in masterful workshops meant to discover, diagnose, then treat a challenge.
Our process begins with research and analysis. Diagnosing a design problem or curating an experience requires an intimate understanding of goals; a doctor needs to run a full diagnostic prior to prescribing medication! So do we. We want to understand your values and goals, then create for them in an empathetic and intuitive way.
After information gathering, we begin planning and executing a narrative. For some projects, this means booking a venue, hiring performers, and writing a script. For others, it means creating a community engagement strategy or a marketing campaign. Regardless of method, our overarching goal is to build stronger relationships in your community through playful, interactive, experiential design.
We design to influence people through the power of joy and play, connecting people to people, organizations to organizations, brands to brands, and any matrices in between. Our unique, research-driven approach invigorates emotion and creativity through collaboration with each of the diverse communities we visit.
