Our work

Programs we've designed, directed, and systemized.

Every engagement here started the same way: a producer buried under coordination. Here's what we built to fix that — the program itself, and the systems underneath it.

The process

From messy idea to a program that runs.

01

Listen

We start with a free call. What are you running, who's involved, and where does it usually fall apart?

02

Design

Run-of-show, roles, partner map, timeline, and the systems underneath. You see the whole plan before anyone lifts a chair.

03

Direct

We build and lead the team, coordinate every partner, and run the program so you can be present in your own room.

04

Hand off

You keep the systems. Dashboards, training docs, and playbooks stay with you for next time.

Design & Direction

Programs we've run end to end.

A panel on stage at the DC/DOX Reality Check Forum
Design & Direction DC/DOX — Reality Check Forum

Forum Manager for a four-day documentary festival in Washington, DC (promoted from Theater Manager). We design and direct the forum track end to end: 27 sessions across three venues, a team of 18 selected and trained in-house, and every panel MC'd on the floor.

We also built an AI-assisted dashboard from three years of ticketing across 60+ sessions — and turned it into four concrete room-assignment and scheduling changes to lift attendance.

Community members in conversation at a Pana Social Miami Connectors meet
Design & Direction Pana Social

A recurring community-partner series in Miami (May and October editions) with a roster of local partners. The studio designs and directs the program; on the day, the floor is facilitated in real time — bringing Miami's community organizers into one room and keeping the conversation honest.

Systems

The infrastructure we've built to last.

Our clearest proof that a program can keep running without us in the room.

Motion Flix

The internal training and event-operations platform we built for Motion Social — born out of the Miami Music Week program on this page. It's how their team runs events without rebuilding the process from scratch every time.
