We are alchemists of the creative process
OUR APPROACH
INQUIRY
We lead with an art-thinking framework that protects open-ended inquiry, dislodges assumptions, and unearths unexpected synergies.
ITERATION
Working in iterative stages, we produce value at every stage of a project. A firm handle on the design-thinking process allows us to rapidly synthesize complex subjects for human understanding.
INCLUSION
We believe in the statement "nothing about us without us." To produce impactful stories, we make sure your whole community is activated in concert.

RECENT PROJECTS
University of Cincinnati, Digital Futures
The University of Cincinnati has chosen Alchemy Unlimited to lead development of an immersive storytelling design for the Digital Futures Lab. Digital Futures will be a cutting-edge facility for the exploration the opportunities between disciplines, with inquiry and innovation anchored in rigorous research. For those who want to harness the intellectual horsepower of the Digital Futures labs, what if it were possible to be immersed in the story of its equally innovative and cutting-edge community? What might be achieved if we could synthesize the complex nature of the labs' high-quality research and collaborative process to tell a story that invites everyone in, regardless of expertise?
