Meet the Founders:

Heath Saunders

Chief Creative Officer

Heath Saunders has spent well over a decade professionally in the theater industry wearing just about every hat imaginable, including literal hats they built while working in a costume shop in 2007.

They’re best known for their work as a Broadway actor and diversity dramaturg, but their artistic passions extend most specifically into music writing and aural design–the sound of music, as it were.

She has taken roles in corporate consulting and is currently studying to be an Intimacy Director/Coordinator with IDC.

Alanna Saunders

Chief Marketing Officer

Alanna is an artist primed to investigate what will satisfy our Spectra customers’ and users’ needs in a way that brings joy.

Trent Saunders

Chief Product Officer

Trent has spent 10 years as a theatre and corporate professional in roles as diverse as Broadway actor, SAFD-certified fight captain, director, producer and educator.

Kim Saunders

Chief Executive Officer
