Together, we make future-focused health and wellbeing experiences.
About us.
We are a transdisciplinary design and research studio based at AUT's School of Art + Design using design to empower, delight, and enrich lives in our communities. We are united by our motivation to help people to think differently, be confident to explore possibilities and dream bigger in response to healthcare challenges.
Our research focuses on how the design of products and services may have a positive impact on people’s health and wellbeing. We engage with clinical experts, healthcare professionals as well as researchers from other disciplines, to share and test ideas and develop unique solutions.
