Pinchd

Pinch is an immersive design studio that creates experiences and environments for brands. The company focuses on using tactility, materiality, and the five senses to engage people on a multi-sensory and emotional level. Founded by industry veterans Don Strom and Nomi Leasure, Pinch operates as the creative counterpart to Salt Productions, a production house based in Los Angeles. This partnership allows them to combine strategic design with production expertise.

The formation of Pinch was driven by client demand for a creative partner that would consistently exceed expectations and a belief in building a better agency model. This model prioritizes team support, collaboration, and a healthy work environment to foster creativity. The studio's philosophy is to move beyond simply messaging at audiences and instead create immersive experiences that build genuine, lasting connections.
