Who are we?
Leigh Riley — Creative Director
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve built my career on helping purpose-driven organisations harness the power of design to inspire action, educate, and create meaningful change. My passion lies in translating complex ideas and data into visual stories that resonate with audiences and drive real-world impact.
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with global brands like Google, The British Museum, and Virgin, as well as working closely with non-profits, social impact ventures, and educational institutions. For me, design is not just about aesthetics—it’s about solving problems, creating clarity, and amplifying your mission through strategic, purposeful design solutions.
My approach.
Each project starts with listening and learning. I invest time in understanding your brand’s mission, goals, and challenges. Whether we’re refining your brand identity, visualising complex data, or designing campaigns that mobilise your audience, my goal is always the same: to create design solutions that drive results and make a difference.
Awards.
My work has received many accolades, featuring in the Information is Beautiful Awards, the FWA Site of the day, the Cream Awards, iDN Magazine and Behance's Graphic Design & Illustration curated galleries. I have also had numerous projects published in design books and journals around the world.
Let’s work together to create meaningful, purpose-led design that achieves results.
