Ideas need People. Duh.

We help clients carry a core idea and build a team around it. Fluent across physical, brand and digital, we can translate thinking from all kinds of people into the solution.

Three pairs of hands.

Three idea-fascinated designers, creating from logo to product to CGI and we love it.

  • Mike Stevens

    Written by Mark & Sam

    Possessed by design and ideas. Mike is fascinated by what things do, how they work, and how they’re communicated. He instinctively combines product and brand thinking, from logo to ergonomics. He’ll discuss letter-spacing or a dial’s clickiness. All. Day.

    Running on enthusiasm like a midfielder, he covers a lot of ground. He’s tuned to notice friction. Pulling ideas apart and bouncing them around until they’re tangible. All to help good people crack hard problems.

    Written by Mike & Sam

    Our level-headed, idea-grounding, deep-thinking surfer. Surfboards sparked his obsession with form; film cameras, function. Mark listens, questions and tinkers, giving ideas room to grow.

    His considered curiosity for objects, hardware, software and where they meet has developed into an annoyingly good eye for design. Even more annoyingly, he’s a freak with both sides of his brain wired up. Data, numbers and words in; clear thinking and design out.

  • Sam Grimes

    Written by Mike & Mark

    Our curious, tech-loving artist, interested in science, emerging tech and… stuff. With a media background, Sam ended up in design through visualisation and a cultural curiosity for what makes nice things, nice.

    As our resident Blender wizard, he visualises, moves and pushes our ideas. Always surprising us into the usual response: “How on earth did you do that?” He gets into the nitty-gritty to create visuals that turn heads.

    Sarah and Mike (126 Mike not Fossick Mike) have worked at some big names, you might have heard of them: Sony, Facebook, Google and Monzo. Despite this, when they need something designed they come to us? Fun fact! We once worked on a project 4 blokes called Mike in the small team.

  • Ecobarista

    Russ and his team are our go-to packaging people. They save us from drowning in the piles of packaging reference and ephemera, piece our ideas together and help us apply our (questionably weird) level of detail and care for packaging semantics.

We’re people, people.

Everyone wins when we share ideas, insights and information. If it helps someone else make something better, we’ve won.

    Curious creative person?

    Here’s a feed of everything we find useful. Books, pods, reads, refs, quotes... anything that scratches those thinking itches.

Futures

Think forwards. Work backwards.

As optimistic, interdisciplinary creatives, we explore speculative ideas with people looking forwards — learning from future-thinkers and collaborating with domain experts to define what’s next. This is our ‘creative hit list’:

Outcomes:

  • Emerging area exploration
  • Next-state product concepts
  • Exploratory brand evolutions

Energy Storage

Accelerating renewables depends on how we capture and store energy. We’re keen to work alongside energy experts to design the hardware and software that make these systems usable, and communicate why they matter and how they work so adoption feels obvious, not optional.

Reuse Systems

Reducing waste relies on making reuse more convenient than single-use — changing behaviour and policy with it. We’re keen to continue helping people design systems that support and incentivise reuse, so participation is convenient.

Public Transport

We’d love to work with planners and engineers to make public transport the easier choice. Designing infrastructure, creating systems and communicating the why — making transport more convenient, comfortable and accessible.

Carbon Transparency

Cutting emissions starts with making carbon visible. We’d love to work with climate specialists to translate data into information people can see — enabling the public to hold big companies accountable for their environmental impact.

Health Literacy

A lot of big health issues are preventable. We’d love to work with clinicians and researchers to design tools that translate evidence into clear guidance, helping people understand their bodies and make informed decisions around sleep, movement and nutrition.

Regenerative Agriculture

How we grow food shapes our future. We’d love to work with farmers, scientists and inventors on systems that make regenerative practices viable at scale, creating solutions that restore soil, increase biodiversity and communicate why it matters.

Personal Finance

Finances shouldn’t be overwhelming, money can be stressful because it’s unclear. We’d love to work with founders to develop tools that provide financial clarity. Helping people understand where they stand, explore their options and create customised and flexible financial plans.
