Experiential design
Events are the cornerstone of our company.
-
We have a long history in designing, producing and managing large and small events that stand out. From talent buying, conference curation, site and stage management, virtual production, and content creation we have worked closely with a variety of festival producers, not for profit arts organizations, industry associations and international brands.
-
As creative producers with a history in music, we have worked extensively with a variety of venues and audiences as well as collaborated closely with technical professionals, marketing and promotion departments, graphic designers, and visual media producers to build compelling experiences that people want to see and hear.
-
We are uniquely positioned to get your message out to those who want to hear it through our extensive industry networks and promotional partners. Our strength lies in our top to bottom understanding of your event and how to connect with the right audience.

Consulting
We have consulted for a variety of community-oriented and social venture projects including co-authoring the Vancouver Music Ecosystem study, being a member of the Vancouver Music Steering community, as well as being a founding board member of Music Heals, a charity focused on funding and supporting music therapy initiatives in our society. Currently, we are on the advisory for the Surrey Music Strategy and have worked closely with Music BC on industry development projects at the Upstream Festival, Rifflandia, BC Tech Summit as well as their upcoming talent incubator and cultural spaces initiative.
Technology
We want to fundamentally change the current approach to computer interfaces and close the expressive gap between human and computer for individuals with disabilities, creatives, musicians, researchers and device manufacturers. For the past 5 years, we have developed a new technology called Extended Expression that addresses the challenges of inclusive design and accessibility in the creative and work productivity spheres. We have done extensive community and industry research and have partnered with Creative BC, The Disability Foundation, Vancouver Adapted Music Society, NRC-CNRC and BCITS.
