You need a team to build a story.

Collaboration is art and design at it's finest.  For every large design installation or art piece there is a collaboration of ideas, a vision to bring it all together, and a collective of skilled artists and artisans to execute it.  We resource artists directly when it comes to execution, thus achieving unique and custom spaces to fit any budget.  We are adding new artisans to the fold every day in order to produce even more dynamic and exciting spaces.

what’s in a name?

What’s in a name?  A Moonraker, also known as a moonsail, hope-in-heaven, or hopesail is the top sail flown on sailing ships built for speed and precision. My Moonraker was Paul Holmes.  An extremely talented artist, designer, lover of sailing, and mentor.  He fueled my passion for art and design at a very young age.  Paul, the Moonraker, passed away around the time I formed the collective. The name pays homage to his spirit and legacy.

Our team had been successfully working solo for some time, collaborating with a fresh set of people for each new project.  While each projects set of artisans can vary, it was obvious when we met that we were meant to work together.  Timing is everything.  It is effortless, fun, and the most productive pairing of minds.  Since then we have worked on many projects together pulling from all our resources to become even more effective.
