Always thinking forward

The best design creates value for your business and customers. But to tap into that value, you need to be bold and make creative leaps. Using curious exploration and courageous imagination at every step, we never just polish the surface but always push for improvement. That’s what great design should be about. And that’s why we’re here.

Thirty years
of proven progress

Since 1989, we’ve been working with globally renowned brands, including Apple, LG, British Airways, Huawei, and Toyota, innovating to design compelling customer experiences. Our creative leaps have led to countless awards, dozens of patents, and game-changing products and services that exceed people’s expectations every single time. With studios in London and Seoul, and a diverse team of different nationalities, we have a global reach and wide-ranging perspectives. We don’t know what the next 30 years will bring, but we know we’ll be designing it.
