Global Experience

We understand that design is a cultural activity and designers need to have first hand experience of the cultures that they are designing for to design successful products and consumer experiences. Our designers have worked and lived in many locations for prolonged periods around the world. We have an unusual depth and breadth of global experience. Cultural diversity is something we not only believe in but have lived.
