A key part of our design philosophy is human-centered utility. We believe businesses should serve as a public good, promoting in-person value, collaboration, and connection.
Throughout the year, we host a variety of accessible community events where people can meet, have meaningful conversations, and enjoy cultural and artistic experiences, along with creative roundtables, mini-docs, and shorts, with extended scripts on the founder’s Substack.

OPEN FRAME // Mini Documentaries & Creative Shorts
Open Frame is a creative storytelling series for our Patreon & YouTube channel. We’re working on a range of mini documentaries and short scripted films about memory, culture, identity, and art in everyday life. Some projects are unscripted (interviews, object stories, observational docs) and others are more scripted (short experimental films, stylized monologues, or collaborative scenes). Open Frame analyses and texts are also available on the founder Substack.
LAUNCHING SOON — ECHO CHAMBER SERIES // Creative Roundtables
Echo Chamber is a new series of recorded creative roundtables for our Patreon & YouTube channel. A platform where art lovers, and creative thinkers can connect, share, and engage in meaningful, stimulating discussions. These sessions are intimate and honest exchanges about art, memory, culture, creative practice, and exploring creative tensions, opposing views, and complex topics with care.
Editorial integrity remains central, with a dedication to portraying individuals authentically and in their best light, free from clickbait, external metrics, or purely financial incentives.
