A product studio creating digital experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways, fostering genuine human engagement beyond the screen.
In a world increasingly dominated by digital interactions, we believe technology should enhance rather than replace human connection, whether used professionally or personally. Our mission is to create digital experiences that encourage people to engage with the real world around them.
We focus on tools that facilitate genuine, in-person interactions—whether that's discovering local events, connecting with neighbors, or finding meaningful ways to engage with your community.
Every product we create is designed with intentionality, prioritizing user well-being and authentic human connection over engagement metrics and screen time. We believe the best technology is invisible—it gets out of the way and lets the human experience shine.

Hi, I'm Greg Palmer, an entrepreneur who believes technology works best when it serves human connection rather than replacing it.
Through years of leading product teams, I've seen firsthand how technology can either bring people together or pull them apart. IRL Engagements is my answer to that: a product studio focused exclusively on building tools that enhance real-world experiences and authentic human interaction.
I'm driven by curiosity, a love of exploration, and a belief that the best moments in life happen when we're present with each other.
We'd love to hear from you. Whether you're interested in our work, have a project in mind, or just want to chat about technology and human connection, we're here to listen.
