live your knowing. trust your knowing.
the stories of the visionaries shaping culture behind the scenes.
all interviews conducted and released in 2019 and 2020. titles and companies have not been updated to reflect current positions.
originally ideated as “scene”, knowing place asked creatives and creative executives vulnerable questions: “when did you first feel seen — in your industry, and in your life? and when did you first see yourself?”

these visionaries move from this place of knowing.
