Founder-led media system design and integration.
We deliver tailored, high-performance media and broadcast systems—designed for how your team actually works. Led by industry veteran and Emmy recipient Erik Utter, we’re a boutique, senior-level firm with deep technical roots and a personal approach that larger integrators can’t match. Every project is shaped by real-world insight, technical integrity, and a commitment to getting the details right—so your system works beautifully, day one and every day after.
Trusted. Thoughtful. Tailored.
Planning & Consulting
Architects and planners rely on us to bring clarity to complex technology requirements early in the design process. From programming, space planning, casework design, specifications and budgets to technical narrative, and owner advocacy, we help ensure your projects are successful—not just aesthetically, but operationally.
Engineering & Design
We believe great media systems design starts with workflow—not with hardware. Our engineering process begins by understanding how your team actually works, then builds a system around those needs. From workflow mapping to construction-ready documents and detailed BOMs, our designs reflect real use—not just ideal specs.
Integration
System integration is where design meets reality—and precision matters. Our team of highly experienced, certified installers delivers clean, reliable media system installations that reflect decades of field expertise. We prioritize craftsmanship, serviceability, and flexibility—so your system performs day after day, long after the ribbon is cut.
Final Setup & User Launch
From power-on to confident use, the last 10% of a project often determines 90% of the client experience. This phase ensures your system is fully tested, your team is trained, and you're ready to go-live with confidence. We don’t just walk away when the equipment lights up—we stay until your team is comfortable, the workflows are proven, and everything works as expected in the real world.
Support
Our job isn’t finished when your system goes live. We provide responsive, real-world technical support to keep your media systems running smoothly. Whether it’s a quick remote fix, on-site troubleshooting, or ongoing system monitoring through managed services, we’re here to ensure your infrastructure keeps working the way it was meant to.
Technology Procurement
We don’t just recommend hardware—we source, supply, and support the exact equipment your system needs to perform reliably. As an independent, design-led integration firm, our Technology Procurement services ensure you receive vetted, project-specific gear with no surprises. Every component is chosen for compatibility, reliability, and long-term value.
