Wooohoo! We're excited to share the new World of WearableArt (WOW) website with you!

We've been collaborating with WOW over the past six months, helping to get the website ready for the 2023 season.

Built using Webflow, the website allows visitors to purchase tickets, browse, delight in past shows, and explore WOW's new wearable art archive, full of stories, imagery, and accolades won by their amazing designers.

We thoroughly enjoyed working alongside the WOW team to bring their vision to life. A special acknowledgment to Natasha, Nikita, Alice, Andrea, Angela, Bri and of course our amazing production team Andrew, Brandon and Laura.

Pics from our Ōtaki retreat 🌅

Having recently launched three new websites, we decided to take a couple of days off and hit the beach. Agency life operates at a high frequency, and it was a welcome treat to switch off our notifications and embrace the slow lane.

We spent our time exploring the sand dunes, playing board games and cooking gigantic dinner feasts. We also held a couple of workshops, during which we started putting together the master plan for our brand-new website. Details coming soon. Shhh.

We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent away together as a team, so much so we’ve decided to host a Winter and Summer retreat each year.

Stay posted for our new case studies coming soon… 👀

A group shot of the team at 121 Festival.

We'd been working away for eight long months, helping to get the website festival ready. It turned out to be a spectacular weekend, full to the brim with sunshine and good times.

Featured are Brandon, Kunyang and Maria — our project team for the 2023 website.

Can't wait for the next one. See you on the 2024 dancefloor!

We're absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for CSSDA's Website of the Year 2022!

Zendetta is an immersive WebGL experience that tells the story of Karam Alhamad, an activist from Syria.

From protestor to political detainee, refugee and policy advocate, Karam’s story is just one of the millions like it from the Syrian conflict which now spans over a decade.

An immersive, interactive web-experience. From political detainee to refugee and activist, a story of survival and revolution through the Syrian uprising.
