Why does community & storytelling matter?

In 2019, we published 100 Stories of Cancer, a book that compiles narratives from individuals affected by cancer. Through design, we aimed to normalise conversations about cancer and create connections by sharing these stories. Designing stories allows us to immerse ourselves in others’ emotions and connect through shared experiences. By using various mediums like animations, brands, books, and social media campaigns, we build powerful communities and reach a wider audience.

Creative co-design creates change

Co-design is a human-centred approach to storytelling. Bringing together diverse perspectives, expertise and experiences, co-design turns end-users and stakeholders into collaborators.

Essentially, it’s designing something for an audience with that audience. All to create designs that meet the needs of users and surpass the expectations of stakeholders. Driving the change we want to see in the world by delivering stories that truly resonate with people.
