We build platforms and products for complex data and research. Drawing on over a decade of design experience, we create data-driven solutions that enable people to make better decisions and communicate more effectively with their audiences.
We develop data platforms for teams to improve their workflow, so they become more efficient and make better decisions.
We transform complex research into clear, accessible data platforms that help stakeholders and the public understand key insights and take action.
We transform complex data into simple, clear product experiences so people can make better decisions and accomplish their goals easily.
We developed the Data Design Playbook as our flexible approach to solving diverse data challenges. Whether we're building map-based products, working with scientists to create internal solutions, or developing platforms for media organisations to communicate with the public, our methodology remains consistent. The Playbook consists of five key steps with some common methods.
We do the groundwork to learn about the data, domain and problems.

Whether it's in science, politics, finance, or technology, we tackle three core challenges: making research findings understandable to broad audiences, giving data teams the tools they need to work effectively, and designing products that simplify complex tasks for everyday users.
Our mission is to find clarity in complexity by turning data into visual, accessible experiences that empower better decisions, more efficient work, and easier daily living. We're design-led, people-focussed, and operate as an open company. The four values below guide how we work.
Convention and mindless institutionalisation are dangerous. If there is a better way to do something then let's do it in a mindful way.
The truth is at the root of our company whether it's building a data platform, learning about new problems, or speaking your mind and being open with each other. Because the truth is trust.
We view both team members and "clients" as partners. We support and go above and beyond for each other. We value and prioritise healthy long term relationships.
Work should be fun not a drain. We can be serious while not taking ourself too seriously. Great work happens in a great environment.
