Hi, I’m Josiah Herfurth, Creator of Spaces, Stories, & Games for People.

I’m a storyteller studying Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California.

I tell stories that inspire authentic hope. Storytelling has always been the connecting thread through my work, whether musical, performative, or spatial. I have a background studying architecture, where I learned interdisciplinary tools to become a well-equipped storyteller. I aspire to be transdisciplinary, working across the built environment, narrative media, interactive media, and writing. I desire to architect stories that are catalysts for hopeful change.
