Dear future partner,
We built Station to be a place where paths meet—a stop along the way to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention.
We design with purpose.
We work where vision, culture, and communication meet.
Whether you’re shaping what’s next, aligning your team, or ready to tell your story in a new way—we’re here to help you find clarity, build meaning, and move with momentum.
Let’s make something that lasts.
Nick and Amanda,
Co-Founders, Station
Since 2011, we’ve worked with organizations across scales, sectors, and missions. From cultural institutions to global companies, public agencies to grassroots nonprofits—we’ve partnered with teams building meaningful change, co-creating strategy, culture, communication, and experience.
Whether we’re mapping a vision, shaping a culture, or designing a communication system, our work is rooted in deep partnership and designed to make an impact that lasts far beyond our time together.
Our StoryOur work is rooted in inquiry. Each project begins by asking the bold, necessary questions that guide clarity and unlock potential.
How can we showcase a 25-year narrative of African American and Afro-diasporic music, artistic process, and the spirituality of music where jazz, hip hop, funk, soul, rock n’ roll, and street dance culture intersect?
