Meet the Founder

Zac Payne founded Stoke Strategies with a vision to provide world class design services for the Architectural sector as well as the world of events and temporary structures.

with a degree in design from the university of Florida, Zac took his expertise to multiple architecture firms, designing and building large scale commercial projects in retail, hospitality and industry. He also connected with clients to provide beautiful designs for bespoke residential projects as well.

After 4 years of professional Architectural work, Zac ventured into the new and exciting world of events. Zac worked alongside the team at hard rock stadium in Miami, Florida to help design, manage, and orchestrate events for the Miami dolphins, the Miami open tennis tournament, the formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, concerts, and many more.

while the position at Hard rock Stadium was rewarding, after 3 years, Zac wanted to expand his horizons and marry the skills he acquired from architectural design, and event operations to form Stoke Strategies in September of 2024.

Now, Our portfolio boasts a diverse range of successful events and commercial design projects, each meticulously crafted to reflect the distinct character of our clients. From luxury hospitality spaces to sprawling festival grounds, our designs are both functional and visually stunning, ensuring that every aspect of the project is seamless and engaging.
