Adam Lisagor (he/him) is a technologist, filmmaker, entrepreneur and investor. He is the founder of Sandwich, the preeminent storytelling studio for the tech world. His favorite thing is to help people understand new ideas using filmmaking, empathy, and light jokes. More recently, he has taken on building product in spatial computing for visionOS through his app studio Sandwich Vision, and in AI through his seed stage startup Useful Computer.
His focus at Sequoyah is on helping to model and share the school’s values in the form of story by developing an investment framework for the community to support the Board’s efforts in increasing access to resource, and in fostering the responsible and future-forward adoption of new tech into the school’s already highly innovative platform of social-emotional learning. He gets really excited when he thinks about the tools that don’t yet exist for democratizing access to emotional and intellectual resource.
Adam studied film production and received his BFA from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, worked in visual effects for a number of years before starting his own studio, and is a lifelong jazz appreciator who plays a few instruments but not well. When he attends All School Meetings at the K-8 with his two kids and partner Roxana, he is optimistic about the future.
