We asked Kat, our graphic designer and animator, what the best and toughest things are about working remotely.
Her answer:
🐱 “Being with my cats all the time… and also being with my cats all the time.” 😂
Meet her adorable co-workers, Mordecai and Fonte — the real stars of the home office.

As Season 14 of Pati's Mexican Table comes to a close, we gathered at Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore to celebrate all the fantastic and hard work the team put into this project. The evening’s highlight was a brilliant, custom Jeopardy game testing our knowledge on the season and ELM facts, created by our incredible editor, Becca! It was the perfect way to acknowledge a successful season and toast our collaborators.

Thank you to everyone who made this season possible!

Hard to argue with his answer. 😎

So last Friday’s episode of PMT was INCREDIBLE🪄 We went to Milpa Alta (aka the nopal capital of the world) and we’re still thinking about those tacos.

Swipe for some BTS magic ➡️

If you missed it Friday, catch the full episode online with PBS! Link in bio 👆

We learned SO much about nopales, tried like 47 different moles (I’m not exaggerating), and Pati literally said she was gonna start dancing 💃 because the food was that good

We’re Making the Iceberg… But We Can Still Change Course.

John Sherman (Story Farm / AI Risk Network) puts it perfectly:
We’re building machines designed to take every job—but we still get to decide how we use them.

The future isn’t written. It’s coded by us.

Timid storytelling is like going to a timid chiropractor — nobody wants that.
Crack those creative bones. Open bold. Shoot bold. Edit bold.
Start your story with a bang, not a warm-up.

Tight deadlines. Big ideas. Creative chaos. 🎬
We asked our producer Jessica Baroody-Saada how she keeps the team inspired when things get hectic.
Her answer?
👉 “I delegate and trust everyone. My job is to make sure the team has what they need — roles, deadlines, scripts, information — all laid out and organized.”
It’s a great reminder that creativity doesn’t come from micromanaging. It comes from trust, clarity, and a well-run production. 💪
How do you keep creativity flowing when the pressure’s on?

Helping parents understand their teens’ screen habits — that was the goal behind our latest collaboration with the American Psychological Association APA.

The Healthy Teen Video Viewing Series brought together psychologists from across the U.S. for a virtual video campaign offering real, science-based guidance for parents.

Behind the scenes, our team handled every detail — from remote recording and time-zone coordination to script development, editing, and multi-platform delivery.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“They were responsive, open to feedback, and handled everything gracefully when timelines shifted… We were so pleased that we’ve already come back for more projects.” — Kat Wiggins, APA

We’re proud to help organizations like APA share trustworthy, human-centered stories that truly make a difference. ❤️

Every project has value. Maybe it’s goodwill. Maybe it’s a new connection. Maybe it’s a piece for your reel. The key is knowing what it’s worth to you and being able to articulate that upfront.
Do the project if it feels right — just don’t devalue your time.
So here’s the question: when you’ve worked for free, what did you get from it? Relationships? Experience? Something else? 👇

At our best, we let go and see what wants to emerge.
