Design Thinkers for the arts, museums, universities and creative places

We help organisations develop user-centred programmes, creative leadership, and collaborative ways of working. Drawing on work with NASA and IDEO, we use design thinking mindsets and tools to help clients across sectors - including the cultural & creative industries, government, charities, and higher education.
