Collaboration. Creativity. Community.
We are thinkers, feelers and doers with
decades of experience working on creative projects in various forms – sometimes
for clients, sometimes for the community, and never without purpose.
We are happiest when collaborating
with like-minded and big-hearted people on meaningful, innovative, impactful
work.
We are skilled at creating
unique experiences, storytelling, visual arts, and producing compelling video and motion graphics content.
We are always looking for ways to increase
engagement with, and benefit, the community at large.

Amuse Bouche
Amuse Bouche is a new culinary series that connects people over curated food and beverage experiences with the aim of alleviating loneliness, building community, and supporting restaurants and the hospitality industry in Toronto.
For guests, it’s a great way to meet new people while simultaneously experiencing an establishment in a new way.
For restaurants, bars, and cafés, it’s an opportunity to flex some service flair, potentially test out new dishes and drinks, bring back old favourites, or otherwise do something different - ultimately creating memorable moments that encourage return visits.
Experiences are curated by Nelson Tam, an industry professional with over a decade in different facets of food and hospitality in Toronto. In the past he has hosted events such as Fried Chicken Fridays and First Bite.
In some cases, events will invovle set, family-style menus, allowing guests to try several different bites. In others, tickets will include admission and perhaps a taste of something to allow for more freedom and accessiblity. Tickets are only sold in advance and include tax and gratuity out of respect for the venues. For curated dinners, drinks are separate unless otherwise noted.
We have previously bouched at establishments like Ricky + Olivia, Island Oysters, Food and Liquor, and Barque Smokehouse.
