Our work
Every engagement begins with a situation that needs clarity — and ends with designed solutions. Here are some of the challenges we’ve helped navigate.
Manufacturing · Design Transformation
A specialist manufacturer needed to shift from a production mentality to a design-led, customer-centred approach. Their product development was ad-hoc and dependent on a few key individuals.
Process mapping using proprietary visual tools, interviews across leadership and production teams, surfacing hidden innovation practices.
A visual map of their actual innovation process — revealing they had unconsciously outsourced a critical capability. This triggered a strategic reassessment of partnerships.
Family Business · Generational Transition
A 100+ year-old family manufacturer was navigating generational transition. A key figure — “the Estimator” — held critical knowledge that didn’t appear on any chart.
Deep process mapping, multi-stakeholder interviews, identifying informal knowledge networks sustaining the organisation’s decision-making.
The “Estimator” was revealed as the central innovation broker — fundamentally reframing how the company understood its own capabilities.
Public Sector · Complex Problem
A public sector organisation had tried multiple approaches to a complex social problem and failed. Standard methods weren’t working.
Co-creation sessions with diverse stakeholders, visual scenario generation, creative reframing through design-led facilitation.
Three actionable challenge frames — replacing one overwhelming “wicked problem” with three design briefs teams could work on.
Agri-food · Strategic Opportunity
A Cretan agricultural business wanted to grow but couldn’t see beyond its current operations.
Business situation mapping, opportunity identification, strategic framing — all within a single structured session.
Nine distinct business opportunities — giving the founders a portfolio of strategic options rather than a single path.
F&B · Experience Design
A new food and beverage venture had a strong product concept but hadn’t designed the customer experience.
Service design principles, experience mapping, touchpoint design — all before the doors opened.
A complete experience strategy — a deliberate design of how guests would feel, not just what they would eat.
