Event Design Services Without Limits
The events industry is constantly evolving and we are evolving with it. Our event design and event marketing agency got its start designing branded experiences for corporate events, tradeshows, conferences, and exhibits. Our team's backgrounds in architecture, engineering, film and animation allowed us to turn our clients' ideas into compelling 3D designs.
As event technology continued to improve, Pulse Studios evolved into a full-service digital event design and event marketing firm. Today, our talented team helps our clients to create everything from the physical event design down to the graphics, video content, and interactive event elements. Our decades of combined experience in the events industry allows us to fully understand our clients' brands and objectives and translate them into truly compelling customer experiences.
Tom Munz
1976 - 2022
Tom Munz was the founder and co-owner of Pulse Studio. He was a visionary and creative inspiration to many. Tom was a graduate of Ball State University earning a master’s degree in Architecture and Design. After several years in the architectural world, Tom decided to follow his passion of event design and rendering. In 2006, Tom took the risk of quitting his job and starting Pulse Studio in his basement. Enlisting the help of his best friend since childhood, Christopher Fry, they grew Pulse Studio into what it is today. With a staff of 14 and counting, Tom curated a group of dynamic designers who each had something unique to bring to the table. Due to this business model, Pulse has grown into a company that can go above and beyond for its clients, bringing new ideas to the table every day.
Tom’s vision and leadership in the office was admirable, and something we all now carry with us. Tom passed away in 2022 at the age of 46. He was a loving husband to Amanda, father to Arya and Eva, and friend to all. Tom’s family and legacy remains an integral part of Pulse Studio. Family, friends, and the team at Pulse Studio will surely miss Tom. His dream of growing the company and earning nationwide recognition for groundbreaking design concepts and a creative integration of technology remains alive at the studio, and we are proud that we can honor him in such a way.

How we got here and where we're headed
Pulse Studio got our start creating successful branded corporate events, tradeshows and exhibits.
Always passionate about creating branded experiential design from the overall physical experience down to the content on each screen, our clients grew with our growth in new interactive disciplines.
With backgrounds in architecture, engineering, film and animation we were able to turn our and our clients’ ideas into compelling designs visualized in 3d. We lead with fresh modern designs while always working with our clients to make sure we are embodying the brand message and story they want to tell.
Pulse can now handle all design or serve as an extension of your design department. We work within a 100% collaborative process between clients and our team. We understand brand guidelines in a growing scope of services—creating compelling renderings, still images, augmented and virtual reality content, custom video content, and motion graphics.
From our roots of designing 3D branding experiences, we’ve evolved to help our clients create everything from the physical design down to the graphics, video content and interactive elements. Our combined experience allows us to understand client’s brands and translate into brand stories via truly compelling customer experiences.
Our vision continues to further push digital content creation as the most cutting edge and engaging for our clients.
Every day we are looking at new technology to help our clients engage their customers, to ultimately take your brand to potential customers with state-of-the-art futuristic technologies.
We work to craft and launch innovation on an ongoing basis. Past, present and future, we live by the notion that the more engaging the experience, the greater the connection to the brand. Our clients will grow with us as we grow.
Many Ideas, One Goal
"Everyone on the Pulse team is insanely talented. We look at every project as unique and assign the right team member for the job. We do our best, so you'll look great to your client."
