about
Evolutionary Guidance Media (EGM) is a creative strategy and experience design studio co-founded by futurist and media psychologist Dr. Dana Klisanin and award-winning designer Melisca Klisanin. We specialize in transformative storytelling that lives across digital, physical, and immersive realms.
At EGM, we collaborate with mission-driven brands, media makers, educators, and cultural organizations to design meaningful impact—through the power of story and the craft of experience. Whether on screen, in space, or through activations, our work fuses ethical insight with emotional resonance.
We’re the creators of the STORIENT™ Framework, a proprietary methodology that brings together narrative strategy, spatial storytelling, psychology, and biophilic design to shape experiences that move people—and move culture.
From global IP to local placemaking, we partner with visionary teams ready to create what’s next.
OUR story
It started with a question:
What if the stories we tell—and the experiences we design—could do more than entertain? What if they could elevate human consciousness and support the healing of the planet?
Out of that question, Evolutionary Guidance Media was born.
Dr. Dana Klisanin, a psychologist and futurist, had spent years developing a bold framework for designing media that didn’t just inform—it transformed.
Enter Melisca Klisanin—an award-winning designer known for turning vision into visceral experience. Where Dana worked in narrative and psychology, Melisca worked in space and sensation—bringing the intangible into form through biophilic design, spatial storytelling, and sensory immersion.
Together, they forged the STORIENT™ Framework—a first-of-its-kind methodology for crafting emotionally resonant, experientially rich, and socially conscious narratives across screens, spaces, and systems.
What began as a shared hypothesis became a movement.
Today, EGM works quietly but impactfully—behind films, series, immersive campaigns, and branded environments—helping mission-driven teams bring their boldest visions to life.
Our name may not always appear in the credits. And that’s okay.
We’re not here for the spotlight—we’re here for the spark.
This is storytelling as a force for evolution.
This is STORIENT™.
