We sit at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and place — where culture becomes a driver of civic and economic vitality.
To activate the cultural and social assets of communities through strategic marketing, community engagement, and purposeful experiences — ensuring that the people and organizations doing meaningful work are seen, heard, and resourced to grow.
Founder, Civana Studio
Samantha brings 15+ years of professional experience in integrated marketing, live events, multicultural outreach, and community engagement to a consultancy built for the organizations that shape civic and cultural life.
Civana Studio is a woman-owned, community-rooted practice working across the public, nonprofit, and private sectors — based in Long Beach, CA.
Every strategy starts with the people and place it's meant to serve — never a template applied from outside.
Multicultural outreach isn't an add-on. It's built into how we listen, plan, and execute from day one.
We work with organizations doing meaningful civic and cultural work — and help them grow the resources to keep doing it.
