Our Studios

Our studios bring service design to life. Designed for our clients, employees and community, they provide creative environments to apply design to real business and societal challenges.

From workshops and project work to training and community events, our spaces bring people together to imagine a better way forward.

The right environment changes how work gets done.

In the video below, our CEO shares why creating the right environment is a critical part of helping people and organizations collaborate, think differently and design better services together.

Physical or digital, the experience always comes first.

Service design looks beyond individual touchpoints to understand the whole experience and how each part connects.

Whether we’re designing a physical environment, a digital service, or the moments where the two intersect, we start with the same thing: understanding people and designing around what they need.

Our purpose is to create a kinder, more beautiful future. While our spaces are beautiful, what makes them special is the people, how we treat each other, and how we make our clients feel.

Designing the experience behind the spaces.

Just like we work with developers to bring digital services to life, we work with architects and interior designers to shape physical environments.

Service design defines how a space needs to work and feel for the people who use it, connecting the human experience with the expertise required to bring it to life.

We designed our space the same way we design services.

This mini documentary takes you behind the scenes of how we built the J5 studio. See how we explored the needs of the people who would use the space, tested ideas and designed an environment for people to create, collaborate, learn and connect.
