Founder — Jade Mangiafico

A builder,
first.

Jade Mangiafico

Jade Mangiafico has spent 25 years turning ambitious ideas into physical objects that hold thousands of people at once. From Coachella's main-artery stages with The Do Lab to a four-year run of the Psychedelic Chapel at Electric Forest, his work is defined by structural craft, theatrical instinct, and a stubborn commitment to building what nobody else will.

Based in Austin, Texas, Sicara Creative is the umbrella for his end-to-end production practice — design, engineering, fabrication, character work, and on-site direction — for festivals, museums, brands, and private commissions worldwide.
