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.
