A MULTIDISCIPLINARY NETWORK OF INDEPENDENT PRACTITIONERS WORKING TOGETHER ON COMMISSIONED PROJECTS THROUGH A STRUCTURED FRAMEWORK
FOLLOW ALONG THE CYCLE FROM PROJECT INTAKE AND ASSEMBLY TO WORK DELIVERY AND INVOICING, THEN SEE WHY THIS SHAPE WORKS FOR EVERYONE
Clients and collaborators commission work aligned with our values and project is assessed
Specialists chosen from the network based on merit, approach, and fit working together
Sector leads maintain quality and delivery while contributors produce excellent output
EACH SECTOR HAS AN EXPERIENCED LEAD WHO OVERSEES QUALITY, TIMELINES, AND CROSS-SKILL DELIVERY. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE STANDARD OF WORK WE PRODUCE, AND THE INTEGRITY OF OUR NETWORK
Development, infrastructure, APIs, automation, custom tooling.
Model integration, workflow design, ethical implementation, intelligent systems
Interfaces, branding, editorial design, typography, motion, spatial design.
Ensure a cohesive brand identity
Narrative structure, short-form content, documentation, brand voice, and conceptual writing.
The sector that leads a project defines how contributors collaborate, what tools are used, and which practices guide the work. Each sector has distinct approaches, but all share our commitment to quality and authorship.
Traditional agencies fragment authorship while studios lack flexibility. We choose a different path where contributors thrive with autonomy and respect for their multidisciplinary depth.
From intake to delivery, every project follows a clear path through our network. Sector leads coordinate contributors, maintain timelines, and ensure quality output that reflects our collective standards.
Contributors are paid directly for their work. A small percentage covers coordination, operations, and shared tools. Everything remains transparent and accountable to the network.
Not everyone fits every project. We match contributors based on skills, approach, availability, and alignment with project values. This ensures the right people work on the right things.
A way to sustain independent practice while staying engaged with excellent collaboration and talented peers
Reliable delivery and expertise without sacrificing the care only individual authorship brings
A living structure for shared practice, learning and contributing to a more ethical economy
