Maybe your products could be more visually interesting and immersive. Or you need ideas for addressing customer feature requests, or making crucial roadmap decisions. Maybe it’s something new, entirely. We can help. We love this stuff.
STRATEGY + DESIGN + CONTENT
Designing breakthrough experiences
We like hard challenges + big ideas, and devising creative solutions to take them on.
The first offering from the Get Back to You (GB2U) project, The Wayback will help midlifers design a return to health, happiness, and wellness by reconnecting with what makes you, you in the first place.
GB2U started with a realization that personal transformation follows a process. Jay Crain noted that people were genuinely curious about how, in his fifties, he was able to manifest a physical transformation. When he reconnected with college buddy and exercise scientist Dr. Greg Welk, GB2U came to life.
The Wayback leverages the scientific framework developed by
Dr. Welk as a textbook, now in its 14th edition, and taught at Iowa State University in his role as Professor of Kinesiology. We're partnering to develop the academic content into a product available to anyone seeking tools and processes to increase health and happiness, wherever they are in life.

In 1994, Eros Poli, a 6’4” pro cyclist who was typically last on climbs, won the 15th stage of the Tour de France. He defied all odds to ascend legendary Mont Ventoux to a solo breakaway victory on a brutally hot day.
Last year on the 30th anniversary of his win, our film crew followed him back up the mountain, hearing the story of his iconic win in his own words, exploring the path that got him there in the first place, along with what keeps him coming back.
GRINTA! film is a love story to cycling, the Tour de France, Eros himself, and what it means to not just persevere, but to endure. This short documentary is in final stages of editing, set to premier later in 2025.
