Every event starts with trust
And trust comes from knowing your partners well. Before the ideas, the plans, or the wow; we want to earn yours. Learn what makes us tick and how we can serve you.
HOW WE THINK
Stay Hungry
We’ve designed and delivered hundreds of complex events but that doesn't make us complacent. We’re equal parts experience and hunger.
We crave new knowledge, new hat feathers and the elated smiles of our partners.
Every project means new challenges and opportunities to learn. We welcome them all.
Make Smart Art
We are equal parts service providers and artists. Unlike many other event design studios, we don’t have a signature visual style. Every event we do looks completely unrelated to the last. That’s because our artistry is bound to your strategy.
The motif in our body of work is not exclusively visual. Peel back the layers and you’ll see, our consistency is in our care. Our vision is always powered by you.
Keep Laughing
Events can be grueling. Long hours, infinite iterations and unforeseen obstacles. We smile through it all.
Challenging news is almost always met with a good joke and a better plan to get around it.
HOW WE WORK
1
We listen first.
Before any ideas hit the page, we ask questions. Lots of them. We get to the heart of what matters—to you, your guests, and the moment itself.
2
We build the right team.
Our crew flexes with the scope—designers, technicians, producers, show directors, scenic builders. The people may change. The quality never does.
3
We think ahead.
Renderings, run of show, floor plans, tech specs—everything gets mapped. Our clients are rarely surprised, but their guests always are.
4
We lead the install.
This is where experience shows. We’ve led load-ins at midnight, worked in hurricane prep zones, managed 24-hour shifts. We stay calm, on point, and in sync.
5
We stay close.
We don’t disappear after the event. We review, reflect, and stay connected—because the next one’s already whispering.
Capabilities
360D can be as big or as small as you need us to be. We can design and produce every aspect of the guest experience or join your efforts as specialists for a specific tactic. Regardless, we pride ourselves on holistic, intentional, and efficient design. If what you’re looking for isn’t on our list, tell us. We welcome the challenge and novelty.

A 360D event is both an experience and a performance. We design the space—and direct what happens inside of it.
WHO WE ARE
Our Story
360D° began as a humble floral design company based out of an NYC restaurant in 1996.
Within two years, we were designing events for major brands and personal milestones—some intimate, some grand, many in iconic spaces. As the work scaled across the country, so did our reputation for creative precision. A 2009 rebrand introduced 360 Design Events and in 2025, we evolved to 360D°.
A new name for the same driving force: shaping moments that matter, one experience at a time.
Founder Matthew David Hopkins—known in the industry as Matthew David—has spent nearly three decades reimagining how people gather and connect. With a background in architecture and a deep love of people, his approach blends thoughtful structure with emotional resonance.
Under his creative direction, 360D° continues to push what live experience can be:
Designed to be felt, not just seen.
The 360D Team
Every 360D event is built around the people it serves—and the people who bring it to life.
Our teams flex and evolve with each project, drawing from a trusted network of designers, producers, builders, technicians, and artists. Some join us for a single moment. Others have been with us since the start. All bring something essential.
As a gay-owned, multi-race-affirming business, inclusion isn’t a statement—it’s how we’ve always worked. What matters most is how someone shows up: with integrity, talent, and a commitment to something greater than themselves.
The best work happens when people feel respected, valued, and free to be themselves.
