We are:


Human-Centred

We place people at the heart of everything we do. Our solutions emerge from deep understanding of human needs, behaviors, and contexts. We invest time to understand before creating, ensuring our technical decisions and design solutions truly serve the people who will use them.


Courageous

We have the confidence to challenge assumptions, ask difficult questions, and pursue ambitious solutions. Our work embraces complexity without creating complication. We balance creative vision with practical execution, pushing boundaries while maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality in every detail. This courage extends to how we engage with clients — being honest, direct, and focused on achieving genuine impact rather than simply delivering what was asked for.


Adaptive

We maintain flexibility in our thinking and processes, ready to adjust our approach based on new insights or changing circumstances. Our expertise lies not just in knowing all the answers, but in asking the right questions. We value learning throughout the journey and see each project as an opportunity to expand our collective knowledge.


Inclusive

We are proud of our reputation as ethical and inclusive practitioners, who have the skills necessary to engage diverse community members and stakeholders in appropriate and safe ways. Our team has specific skills and experience in working collaboratively and safely with people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people with disabilities, justice-involved individuals, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

We are committed to Diversity and Inclusion and have an active, ongoing practice of Cultural Competence that informs how we work together and with others.

Our Leadership Team


We have unrivalled expertise in design, research and strategy and are passionate about using our skills to work inclusively with organisations and communities.

Sign up to Paper Giant

Each month, our team share their thoughts on design-related topics, reflect on current social issues and share what’s happening in and out of the studio. We'll also include an invitation to our monthly meet up, Office Hours. We'd love you to join us.

We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and to the traditional custodians of the lands and waters which we may visit upon in our work. We acknowledge their elders past and present. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
