Dot Connector Studio launched in 2013, when Director Jessica Clark and Katie Donnelly teamed up around a shared conviction: media shouldn't just inform—it should transform. In the early days, we focused on strategy, storytelling, and media impact. 

But as the world shifted, so did our work. Over time, we found ourselves wanting to move beyond present-day thinking and current trend cycles. That shift naturally led us to embrace futuring—exploring how art, media, and democracy can evolve together in more just and imaginative directions.

As our vision expanded, so did our approach to collaboration. This work came into sharper view when Evan Walsh joined the team in 2022 to help us pivot. We realized the futures we’re working toward demand new ways of working now—ones rooted in rest, care, and genuine connection. That ethos now shapes how we engage with each other and with our clients.

What began as a strategy firm has become an internal compass—a set of shared tools and values that help us and our partners navigate toward futures that are just, inclusive, and deeply human.
