Built by people who've done the work.
⸻ President & Founder
Lauren Leslie Sakon
Lauren is the standard every Tiger Buoy project must meet before it reaches a client. Her role is not to execute. It is to evaluate.
She approaches the work with fresh eyes and no patience for choices that require explanation, which is precisely the perspective an exacting client brings and exactly what most post-production partners are missing on the inside.
That vantage point is the product of ten years in commercial production — not post-production. Lauren has always sat closer to the client's side of the table than the edit bay. She sees what lands, what doesn't, and why. Every project passes through that judgment before it leaves Tiger Buoy.
⸻ Managing Partner
Sawyer Sakon
Sawyer is the architect. His most valuable skill isn't his creative talents, but his ability to make the work feel manageable. Problems get solved without escalation. Changes land without drama. It's the product of twenty years shaping timelines under pressure, developing the judgment to know what matters and the steadiness to handle what doesn't. Sawyer is the reason a Tiger Buoy engagement feels different from the first call to final delivery.
If you're considering Tiger Buoy for a project, or want to understand whether we're the right fit,
we welcome the call.
