Open Work is a design collective founded in 2014. With backgrounds in graphic design, interactive design, and type design we work in collaboration with people and organisations to develop design projects across various media. We view our clients as collaborators and seek opportunities to work with those involved in their own creative pursuits, where we can learn from each other, and extend and com
plement each other’s domain knowledge with a shared investment in the quality of the work produced. In times where the conventions of communication are constantly in flux we are interested in exploring the boundaries of, and relationships between media. Critical thinking, systems thinking, focus on content, and dedication to craft are central. We view digital and analog not as a schism, but as a continuum in which we can speculate on ways of reading, methods of interaction, forms of graphic design, and how these can be manipulated, challenged, reverse engineered, and repurposed.
