AboutWe were brought up with dirt under our nails, from childhood summers on a horse ranch to early career work on an 1800s living history farm, and together bring over two decades of experience across editorial, travel, start-ups, and hospitality.
Our inspiration comes from small family farms and the people behind them, heritage destinations that invite both learning and play, and the intentional moments that create connection and community.
When you’ve got a vision but need a little (or a lot of) help turning it into reality, or want fresh ideas to take your brand further, that’s where we can step in.
Split between Atlanta and Amsterdam, with the flexibility to take on international projects.

We love nothing more than diving into the history and people that make small businesses so special. Whether we are working together to design your brand from scratch, or creating a charming touchpoint for guests, all our creative projects begin the same way: getting to know the roots and aspirations of your business.
We translate purpose into presence, embedding your identity in every environment.

Lisa Frank
Lisa’s connection to land and learning began on an 1800s living history farm, where she interpreted pioneer and Dakota life. That early immersion in history and education inspired a reverence for place-based experiences. With a track record of launching businesses and pioneering roles across travel start-ups, non-profits, and small businesses, Lisa has built a career around bringing big ideas to life. At Kingston Downs and through the Global Agritourism Network, she creates experiences that bring people closer to the land, honoring the past and reimagining how we connect to it today.
