Case studies

What we built,
and what changed.

Each case study shows the system we built, what changed for the organization, and what we took away from it. The websites and public tools we've built are further down the page.

LinkIT Media Group · 2021–present

From disconnected systems to an integrated operating backbone

LinkIT Local™ is a community visibility network. As the company grew, the work of bringing a partner from first inquiry to renewal lived in separate systems. We planned the work in phases and built the backbone that connects it.

→ Phase plan first · a more integrated operating system
LINT · 2026

From an hour of admin per booking to under 7 minutes

Taking one booking from inquiry to contract and invoice used to cost 45 to 60 minutes of hands-on work. The system now drafts the quote, follows up, and collects the signature and deposit, and a person approves each step.

→ 45 to 60 minutes per booking → 5 to 7 minutes
Robert Rauschenberg Foundation · 2022–2024

A residency's operations, built to be run by its own staff

The invitation and intake system ran live for the 2023–24 cohort. The facilities system carried the island through a hurricane recovery. A staff owner was trained to build on both.

→ Invitation system live for 100 artists · staff owner trained

The Nest Creatives · 2025

When the right answer was an off-the-shelf tool

We built a custom client portal and tested it with the team. The Nest decided that day-to-day work belonged in Asana, and we agreed. The prototype showed what the system needed to do.

→ Right tool chosen · Airtable kept as system of record · referrals followed

LA Commons · 2024

Leaving a fiscal sponsor without breaking the organization

A community arts organization was preparing to leave its fiscal sponsor. We modeled what independence would cost, built the project tracker, and ran the vendor process.

→ Cost of independence modeled · vendors selected · board given a sequence
The Queer Fringe · 2026

A map of 280 shows, built in under a week

At a festival with more than 3,500 shows and no way to find the queer ones, we built a free interactive map and planner. It reached 1,100 visitors in its first week.

→ 1,100+ visitors and 2,000+ pageviews in week one
Isuini Martial Healing Arts · 2026

A clear offer, a real price, and a plan that fits a traveling practice

Four Clarity Sessions, part-funded by a Center for Cultural Innovation grant, produced a prioritized offerings menu with pricing, a website architecture plan, a six-month roadmap, and print collateral.

→ Offerings menu with pricing · website plan · 6-month roadmap · first pop-up run
