Our Origin Story
We’re partners in life and work, united by a belief in storytelling’s power to connect people and drive change. Our journey began in the Caribbean, where we produced content that truly mattered – stories of athletes, educators, engineers, and community leaders shaping the region’s future.
Our success took us to collaborations with the UN, Red Bull, ESPN, and many of the Caribbean’s most significant sports and political milestones. In 2018, we relocated to Ontario, Canada, bringing our passion for meaningful storytelling to new projects in economic development, education, and municipal sectors.
