Decades of international experience in experience design in all its forms.
2020 has completely changed the world we all live in. We need to re-emerge from the ashes and form a new reality, a new normal as some say.

Awethentic Co originated at this turning point for humans, business, and machines to embrace a new era of authenticity as we rise, emerge and rebuild from the ashes, loss and collective grief in the wake of a global pandemic and climate change crisis.
