Transformation through experience, data, and story.

understories is an experience design studio specializing in learning, development, and organizational change.

We combine a framework for developing Competence in Organizational and Relational Effectiveness (CORE) with machine learning, gamification, and immersive experiences to craft tailored learning journeys with measurable business outcomes.

Learning and organizational development experts

Our team has decades of experience in Learning & Development, Change Management, and behavioral health. They have led teams and advised companies from Silicon Valley to international nonprofits to the U.S. government.

Off-the-shelf to bespoke

We use a four phase design process to help you implement research-backed development and change interventions. Work with us on any or all of these steps, customizing as you go or selecting from our existing evidence-based models. The result is an interactive learning experience you can plug right into your existing training programs and change initiatives. And if you need inspiration, take a look at a case study using our flagship product, Walk With Me.

“This highly interactive experience with no clear rules or predictable responses is highly engaging!”
