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 the scenes across sectors — helping mission-driven teams bring their boldest visions to life.
This is storytelling as a force for evolution.This is STORIENT™.
