Our story
Our name says it all. SenovvA is a portmanteau combining sensory and innovation. It began in 2000, at our founder’s kitchen table in LA, with a vision of what could be when you bring together the best and brightest.
K Lee Harvey understood that technology was changing at a staggering pace and wanted to support collaborators as they discovered ways to revolutionize live event messaging. After partnering with Frank McMinn, they never looked back.
Their vision of a positive work environment that fostered a culture of enjoying what we do has led to growth in our offerings, and expansion to the East Coast, Canada and Europe.
Fast forward to today and SenovvA’s mission has remained the same: to produce pioneering work that we can be proud of, centered around the needs of our global clients.

Anything to do with: building, designing, and creating.
It all starts with wonder.
This deep-seated impulse enables us to see the world through new eyes, captivated by the world’s many curiosities, to make discoveries and connect to something larger outside of ourselves.
It is essential to creativity; it taps into the magic that surrounds us all, every day.
We invite you to think, feel, and most of all, to wonder.
