We started this thing in 2020 — smack in the middle of the pandemic — with a few good ideas, too much coffee, and a lot of late nights.

Jonathan came from journalism and film. Javad came from architecture, real estate, and design. Somehow, those two worlds collided in the best way. We found ourselves building a studio that could do a lot — writing, directing, producing, designing, problem-solving — and doing it in a way that felt thoughtful, and different from a lot of what we were seeing out there.

These days, we work with clients across higher ed, healthcare, real estate, and construction — industries that don’t always get great creative, or that have small teams looking for long-term partners to help lighten the load. We try to change that.

We’re a small studio, but we work big. We scale teams around each project, bring in great collaborators when we need them, and hold every part of the process to a high standard — from the first idea to the final export.

We try to make things easy for the people we work with — even when the work gets complex. We guide, we ask good questions, we listen, and we love to collaborate throughout the entire process. We know creatives sometimes get a reputation for being slow or disorganized — we work hard to prove otherwise. We’ve worked with everyone from interns to executive teams — and we know how to keep things moving.

The goal’s always been the same: do good work with good people. Everything else tends to fall into place.
