We are fascinated by the ways in which design can make life better, and believe it can be more meaningful, more moving, and more memorable if we approach the human experience with more intention. Combining wild creativity with strategic rigor, we dream up inventive ideas infused with deep empathy for the messiness, tenderness, and vulnerability of being human. The result is transformative experiences the stick to the bones.

Our work is informed by a diverse background in the fine arts, positive psychology, experience design, relationship-building facilitation practices, and radical curiosity. To give someone something they want, but don’t expect requires deep insight into humanity——identity, emotions, expectations, and memory——and we consider ourselves lifelong students of the human condition.
