Work With Us
People hire us when reports stop working.
When forecasts pile up unread. When trend decks blur together. When strategy needs hands and body, not just eyes and mind.
We create situations that force contact with what's coming. Objects that demand handling. Rooms that shift your sense of time. Stories that lodge under your skin and change how you move through the world.
We offer:
-
We create rooms where your team can practice what's coming.
These aren't typical workshops with sticky notes and group shares. We throw you into carefully designed situations—complete with props, constraints, and unexpected turns—that force you to navigate possible futures using your hands and instincts, not just your analysis.
You'll leave with two things: artifacts that capture what you discovered, and a physical memory of what different futures actually feel like in your body.
Format: 1-day, 2-day, or multi-session immersions
Outputs: Scenario documentation, physical prototypes, strategic tensions, and artifacts that keep the experience alive after we're gone
-
PORTAL X is your organization's gateway to futures beyond the world we know. This isn't traditional futurism – it's a deep dive into collective myth-making and world-building. Through immersive encounters, story-weaving, and artifact creation, we'll help craft detailed visions of regenerative futures that acknowledge our kinship with all life. Think of it as stepping through a portal where new forms of ecological and social relationships aren't just possible – they're already emerging.
-
We track what's emerging before it has a name.
This isn't about data points or trend reports. We move through spaces where change happens first—observing how language shifts, where discomfort clusters, what objects people are making, and which stories gain unexpected traction.
We return with evidence: recordings of conversations from the edges, physical artifacts that signal what's coming, and maps showing how competing futures are already fighting for dominance in your field.
Timeline: 2-8 week immersion
Outputs: Field recordings, physical evidence collection, and narrative maps that make invisible currents visible
-
We move into your walls and rewire how your organization senses time.
Unlike consultants who extract and report, we become part of your ecosystem. We sit in meetings where futures get flattened, catch the stories your team tells itself, and build intimate knowledge of where your blind spots live.
From this embedded position, we create small disruptions: objects that appear on desks, scenarios that unfold in real time, and moments that force your team to physically engage with what they've been avoiding.
Timeline: 1-12 months
Outputs: Internal experiments that continue without us, provocations tailored to your specific fears, and artifacts that keep uncomfortable futures visible in your space
Client FAQS
-
We work with people who are ready to think beyond what’s already been named.
Our collaborators are curious, creative, and a little restless. They know the frameworks they’ve been handed—strategic plans, campaign briefs, theory of change decks—don’t go far enough. They’re looking for new language, new tools, and new ways of making the future feel real.
We’ve worked with:
Foundations and philanthropies reimagining their role in a world they can’t control
Cultural institutions and production teams exploring how stories shape what becomes possible
Brands and organizations questioning their own assumptions and experimenting with what else they could become
Strategy and executive teams who want more than trends—they want a space to think, play, and feel forward
Educators and public sector leaders making space for vision, not just response
-
Like the futures we explore, no two collaborations look the same.
We don’t sell packages. We shape working relationships around the needs of the moment and the questions we’re exploring together.
Some of our projects unfold over a day. Others evolve over months. Some begin with a prompt, a provocation, or a speculative artifact. Others start with a client saying: “We don’t know what to ask yet, but we’re ready to think differently.”
The scope and structure are always co-created. The goal is always the same: to stretch your thinking beyond what your current tools allow.
-
We understand that resourcing exploratory work can be complex.
We’re open to conversations about alternative funding structures, shared grant development, or phased engagements where it makes sense.
That said: our work requires time, focus, and rigor. If you’re serious about exploring what comes next, we’re open to designing an approach that meets both the ambition and the realities of your budget.
