Disruptive Empathy Experiences
When your mission deserves more than a talking point.
Disruptive Empathy Experiences are immersive, story-led activations that bring your purpose to life — so your audience doesn’t just hear it… they feel it.
Empathy storytelling is the strategy that makes your message unforgettable.
Disruptive Empathy Experiences are custom-designed immersive experiences that awaken curiosity, build emotional connection, and move people to act. Whether you're engaging new customers, launching a movement, or deepening your engaged community, we design environments where your audience doesn’t just understand your mission, they step inside it.
Impact doesn’t come from more content; it comes from feeling.
We blend strategy, psychology, cultural context, and immersive storytelling to create one-of-a-kind experiences that elevate your vision, resonate with your audience, and build meaningful, lasting engagement.
These aren’t events.
They’re transformations.
This work feels like:
A living story your audience walks through
A space where your values are made tangible
A moment they’ll talk about for years—because it moved something real inside them
If your mission deserves that kind of resonance, we should talk. Let’s bring your mission to life in a way no one will forget.
Whom this is for
This is for the cultural disruptors, purpose-driven founders, and big-hearted changemakers who are ready to design something unforgettable.
If you’re leading with purpose — whether through a brand, initiative, movement, or institution — we partner with you to bring your story to life through immersive, emotionally resonant experiences.
We collaborate with:
Local Small Businesses are craving to activate more in-person experiences
Thought leaders launching bold ideas
Culture-forward and impact-driven brands
Foundations + philanthropic partners
Social advocacy organizations + nonprofits
Cities and universities reimagining community engagement
This work meets you at the scale of your vision.
If your mission is rooted in empathy and built for impact, we’ll help it land where it matters: in the hearts of your people.
Six moments that call for something more
To stand out in a crowded landscape
You’re tired of rinse-and-repeat. You want something people talk about—and remember.
To shift from transactional to transformational
This isn’t about fundraising. It’s about belonging to a cause.
To combat donor and team fatigue
Let’s be honest: most events feel the same. We design for awe, energy, and alignment.
To build emotional connection
Donors, teams, and supporters don’t just want to know. They want to feel the impact.
To launch something new with power
When you're unveiling a policy, product, culture shift, or community initiative—we help it land with integrity and resonance
To expand vision with your community
People don’t want a pitch — they want to see themselves in your story. We make that possible.

How we work
We offer two levels of partnership.
Tier 1
Ignite: Concept Strategy Intensive
A strategic partnership to ideate and map the full creative experience concept with you. You leave with the full blueprint.
This is where the story begins.
We design your experience's overarching vision and emotional anchor, the conceptual DNA that ties your mission to a bold, unforgettable idea.
You walk away with a signature concept and a strategic narrative that can become the foundation for a gala, exhibit, film, installation, or public activation.
The “how” comes later. This is the what and why — delivered with clarity, originality, and soul.
Sample activation
Designing a gala concept inspired by a founder’s tattoos as visual metaphors for resilience—a single idea that could expand into a donor experience, short film, and visual campaign.
Tier 2
Illuminate: Design + Conceptualization
We take the core concept and bring it into form — mapping the emotional rhythm, spatial flow, story structure, and audience journey.
We lead the strategy and also create the whole concept — visuals, sensory arc, story framing, and emotional rhythm. You bring it to life with your team.
You receive the full creative blueprint: how it should look, feel, unfold, and move people. Your team implements it with full ownership, guided by the design narrative we’ve built.
Sample activation
Building a 90-minute immersive donor experience centered on cultural myths of inheritance—complete with spatial cues, sensory design, audience interaction points, and narrative pacing.
