At Seated with Strangers, we turn strangers into stories.

We’re an experience-driven agency built on the belief that meaningful connection can happen anywhere. Especially in the unexpected spaces where people cross paths.

Our work transforms everyday moments into intentional encounters, helping brands and organizations create environments where curiosity, conversation, and community naturally unfold.

We don’t just design events.
We design the space for what happens between people.
