Nowhere with Maxx Berkowitz

NOWHERE Studio was founded to build bespoke experiences for their clients & communities in the NOWHERE Platform. Founded by Jon Morris, Maxx Berkowitz, & Ana Constantino from The Windmill Factory in early 2020, the project was a response to the COVID19 pandemic and a need to bring people together virtually during a time of unprecedented social distance.

Nowhere was a patform that allowed people to create events and meetups in a variety of different virtual use cases, such as town halls, all hands, training, networking, conferences, festivals, live comedy, show & tell, scavenger hunts, fan clubs, birthday parties, memorials, and many others. It contained spatialized audio, audience controls, screen sharing, and user generated content.
