Life Is What We Make It, so Let Us Make It Worthwhile 

We are indirect utilitarian, storytelling artists that work to empower and inspire engineers to develop more human-centered designs. We also encourage and enable other artists to tap into their authentic form of self-expression to preserve and communicate our cultural values. We use art and design as a vehicle to communicate meaningful, essential messages! 

Our function is to serve humanity through ingenuity: cleverness, originality, and inventiveness in the storytelling arts which stimulates and permits growth, or self development and human flourishing. With love and hope, we're communicating simple truths and burning away limiting beliefs.
