Hi there, I’m Stefano!
I’m obsessed with
bringing people together
Many years ago, when I first moved to Berlin, I was hungry for connection—but all I found were events that felt like copy-paste social gatherings. Small talk. Awkward networking. The same old “So, where are you from?” conversations that made me want to vanish into a cloud of spaghetti. (that’s the saying right?)
I knew there had to be a better way to bring people together. So, instead of waiting for someone else to create it, I did it myself. I started hosting weird and wonderful social experiences—events where strangers could break our of their comfort zones, skip the small talk, play, and connect.
And guess what? People loved it!
I realized that human connection is the magic sauce to an unforgettable experience. Over the years, I’ve designed gatherings that have brought thousands of people together and trained others to do the same!
Now, I’m on a mission to help brands and creators bring their audiences together through unforgettable IRL experiences—growing their business, building real connections, and having a freakin’ blast along the way!
values that guide me 🚶🏻♂️

3 ways we can work together
Community Challenges 🚀
Gamify your audience with a challenge they actually want to complete. I’ll help you design cohort-based challenges (or quests) that inspire, engage, and connect your audience on a deeper level. Whether you’re looking to launch a creative project, spark meaningful conversations, or build loyalty through shared experiences, I’ll create a blueprint that’s both fun and impactful. Bonus: these are highly lucrative and keep people coming back for more.
Signature Event 🌀
Let’s cook up an epic event series your audience will love! Something you can host regularly- monthly in your city or whenever you’re traveling the world. These signature experiences are designed to feel authentic to you while making it easy to gather your community wherever you go. We’ll build something that feels authentic, engaging and playful that keeps people coming back for more (and telling all their friends about it). Creators like you are in the perfect position to host IRL experiences that bring your audience together. Make it count!
Elevate Your Experience 🪄
Whether you’re running a retreat, hosting a one-off workshop, or planning your next big gathering, I’ll help you take it to the next level. Creators like you are in the perfect position to build IRL experiences that bring your audience together in meaningful ways. I’ll do a full experience rundown, offering insights, tweaks, and ideas to make it smoother, more engaging, and unforgettable. From refining the vibe to adding playful touches that fuel connection, I’ll help you turn a good gathering into a brilliant one!

Working with Stefano was a game-changer. He took my vision and transformed it into an unforgettable event series. Every detail, from the naming to the flow of the experience, was thoughtfully designed to foster genuine connection and create a lasting impact.

Stefano truly has a gift for bringing people together and making magic happen.
