The H Files
History's biggest mistakes. Rewritten for the modern professional. 20 lessons. Fully remote. Award-winning.
Make project management actually fun
Inspired by Comedy Central's Drunk History and Netflix's Explained, each four-minute episode blended humor, animation, and real lessons from history's biggest project failures. The goal: turn corporate learning into bingeable content.
In the corporate world, most people don't call themselves project managers — but they plan events, lead teams, hit deadlines, and juggle 15 moving parts without dropping the ball. The H Files was built for them. And I had the challenge of bringing it to life across five time zones, mid-pandemic, on a fully remote pipeline.
"I wasn't just managing a project — I was managing a project about project management."
— Scott Seibold, Production ManagerCreative chaos, controlled
I built a remote-friendly animation pipeline syncing cross-functional teams across Hawaii, LA, NYC, London, and beyond — while balancing precision and play to keep the creative engine moving. In the nerdiest sense, it was both Agile and Waterfall: fast iterations, clear sprints, strong decisions.
My responsibilities included:
- Leading end-to-end production across 20 animated episodes
- Coordinating teams in Hawaii, LA, NYC, London, and beyond
- Building a remote animation pipeline from the ground up
- Managing scripts, voiceover, design, and educational content in parallel
- Translating constant feedback into actionable, forward momentum
- Ensuring narrative clarity, educational value, and comedic tone — all at once
Content they'll remember
The pilot was a hit, and the series became a cornerstone of Cornerstone Studios' original content slate. It rolled out across global teams, was praised for its style and clarity, and stood out in a sea of corporate learning videos. The H Files didn't just teach project management — it became a case study in great project management itself.
