This event is hosted by SEGD SF! Get an exclusive tour of the award winning Crunchyroll HQ and a talk with Muse & Co. CEO Noah Veneklasen on the behind-the-scenes process to transform the office into a truly immersive experience.
In 2019, Muse was approached by Crunchyroll, one of the world’s largest anime streaming and content companies, to reimagine their headquarters in San Francisco. The sprawling 80,000 square-foot space, which is divided into 4 floors, was to feature fully immersive and authentic Japanese and anime-inspired themed spaces throughout.
You can learn more about the project and see additional photos here.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Noah Veneklasen
Noah is the founder and design director of Muse & Company. Prior to founding Muse, Noah worked extensively in many facets of the film industry, including production design, special effects, and scenic construction. His diverse skill set sets the tone for Muse’s mission to combine elements of art and construction.
After graduating high school, Noah worked as a scenery fabricator and stagehand for Warner Brothers, Disney, and the SF Opera. He then attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA where he earned a BFA in Theatrical Design. Upon finishing school and returning to California, Noah worked as a set designer for trade shows, commercials, and corporate events.
With a growing passion for film and television, and a strong set of practical leadership skills, Noah founded Muse Media Center in 2006. Led by Noah, Muse Media Center produced 7 independent films, as well as numerous commercials for clients including Discovery Channel, Visa, and AMEX.
In 2012, Noah founded Muse and Company, with an intent to design and build immersive spaces.

Noah guides the creative process at Muse and touches everything they do in a tangible way.
