Projects have included designing historic trails to generate tourism traffic; designing a VR tour of historic Helena landmarks; and designing a pop-up prom shop enabling students to access prom.

The Design Apprenticeship Program: Working out of the 12,000 square ft creative workshop and office space on Ohio Street, Thrive staff collaborate with students from different educational communities to improve the community and learn creative industry basics. Currently students are making social media promotional videos for the Helena Adventure Company - a project of Thrive to attract outdoor adventure tourism to the area.
