Where AI, Storytelling, and Strategy Converge
We help businesses and creators harness AI to transform operations, unlock creativity, and shape what comes next.
About Us
At OuterSpaces Studio,
we believe the future belongs to those who can imagine it — and build it.
OuterSpaces Studio is a new kind of consulting and creative technology startup — but we’re not starting from scratch.
With 27 years of experience in consulting, project management, and people leadership, we know how to guide organizations through complexity, unlock new value, and deliver results that last.
What makes us different?
We’re combining proven expertise with the power of AI and storytelling. From automating workflows to reimagining proposals, from building tools like LANDER and SoulBuilder to launching creative case studies like the Loopborn Saga, we’re building a studio where strategy, innovation, and imagination converge.
This is the next chapter — and we’re inviting our clients and partners to build it with us.
Our Services
Building Smarter Systems, Stories, and Strategies
At OuterSpaces Studio, we combine 27 years of consulting and leadership experience with the latest in AI-driven innovation. Our services span from AEC operations and management consulting to workflow automation, proposal transformation, and cultural AI readiness. We also develop creative platforms like SoulBuilder and Sanctuary, proving that technology can be both strategic and deeply human.
AI Consulting & Automation
We help businesses streamline operations and unlock new efficiency with the right AI tools. From Airtable to Make.com integrations, we design systems that cut costs, reduce errors, and free up your team to focus on strategy, creativity, and growth.
AEC Operations & Management Consulting
With 27 years of consulting and project leadership experience, we specialize in helping Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firms improve delivery, resource management, and operational strategy. We bridge technical expertise with AI innovation to future-proof your business.
Proposal Transformation: Lander
Traditional proposals waste time and money. LANDER changes the game with fast, compelling, and multimedia-ready submissions that reflect your brand voice, integrate analytics, and can save firms up to $50k per bid. We help you win more work with less effort.
Storytelling & Creative Technology
Stories inspire connection, whether you’re building a brand or a galaxy. Through SoulBuilder and our creative IP like the Loopborn Saga, we demonstrate how AI can turn raw ideas into worlds, characters, and experiences that move people — and businesses.
Psychological AI Readiness
AI adoption isn’t just technical — it’s cultural. We guide teams through the psychological side of AI, from leadership development to change management. Our approach helps organizations overcome fear, build confidence, and unlock the human side of technology.
Healing & Growth Experiences: Sanctuary
Beyond business, we create tools for personal reflection and growth. Sanctuary blends adaptive storytelling with mindfulness and soundscapes to help individuals recharge, heal, and imagine new possibilities. It’s where technology meets humanity at its most personal.
