“...the world isn't made out of atoms... it's made out of stories, human stories... Stories can convert past into present and present to future, can bring the far into a possible and visible near, stories carry the rational emotions that make us humans.” “Inspired by Eduardo Galeano” “Storytelling design is about discovering the design stories a product will carry to customers; it has a language and a hierarchy of information that will enable people to engage in a great experience. As a design consultancy, we do product design, communication design, product development and market implementation. We are a small team based in Hong Kong, where we find the right combination of cultural values, business dynamics, and development synergy. Our past clients are BOSCH, PHILIPS, ZUMBTOBEL, THORN, HOLCIMN, VOLUMIO and many more. We tailor a symbiotic process with our client’s team and suppliers to ensure the desired goal and qualities, integrating with our clients as a part of the team.
