History’s Biggest Mistakes. Rewritten.

The H Files is an award-winning 20-lesson program exploring history’s most fascinating triumphs (and avoidable mistakes) to show today’s professionals how to put these valuable lessons to use.

And I had the challenge of bringing it to life across five time zones, mid-pandemic, on a fully remote pipeline.

The Vision: Make Project Management Fun (Yes, Really)

Our goal: turn corporate learning into bingeable content. 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 flops.

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.

My Role: Creative Chaos, Controlled

I wasn’t just managing a project—I was managing a project about project management. So, I built a remote-friendly animation pipeline syncing cross-functional teams, while balancing precision and play to keep the creative engine moving. It was, in the nerdiest sense, both Agile and Waterfall: Fast iterations, clear sprints, strong decisions, and no room for delays.

My role included:

  • Leading end-to-end production across 20 animated episodes

  • Coordinating teams between 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

The Result: Content They’ll Remember

The H Files proved that project management training doesn’t have to be boring—it can be bold, bingeable, and actually fun.

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 won competitive awards in remote production and corporate training.

The series didn’t just teach project management—it became a case study in great project management itself.
