Make the old model obsolete.

The world is complex, and everything is connected. Our strategic design approach is fluid, adapting to each project to create real, lasting change.

​

We are most interested in work that restores the balance between people and planet.

 

Sometimes, that means helping organisations find their strategic direction.

​

Sometimes, it’s making essential services—like healthcare or disaster response—more accessible and resilient.

​

Sometimes, it’s creating spaces where nature, not just humans, can thrive.

​​

If you’re ready to act for a better future, we’re ready to work with you.

Our Ways of Working​

Our work blends research, strategy, design and creativity to shape better futures.

Deep Research & Insights

We uncover patterns, possibilities, and hidden connections by exploring systemic behaviours, cultural shifts, and nature’s intelligence — revealing new pathways forward.

System Shifts & Leverage Points

We identify patterns, tipping points and intervention areas — from micro to macro— that drive real social and environmental change.

Strategic Mapping & Visual Thinking

We turn complex information into clarity, creating shared views of systems, experiences, products and services — so teams can align and act with confidence.

Immersive Worlds & Guiding Narratives

We use world-building, narrative design, and visual storytelling to bring ideas to life— helping people see, feel, and step into transformative futures.

Design Futures & Foresight

We use strategic foresight and a design futures toolset to envision alternative futures that help find new ways of doing and evolve resilient people and organisations.

Action Experiments & Proto-doing

We don’t just talk — we test, build, and learn in real time. Through lightweight experiments, we help organisations move bold ideas into action.

Recent Projects

To (re)Design the World is our Purpose

We’re here to accelerate the shift toward a better quality of life for all living beings. Whether through an interface, a service, a system, an imagined world, or a physical artefact, we help organisations create meaningful change.

​

Our success isn’t measured by outputs — it’s measured by net-positive impact for people and planet.

​

We already have what we need. Now let’s make it work for everyone.
