Everything Designs

Agency in Design is a leading Indigenous ontological design company focused on utilising Indigenous Knowledge informed Design principles and routines to produce engaging design that not only fits with our clients but works to fit our clients in accord with all things.

Hello, future Indigenous Knowledge informed Designer 👋

Agency in Design has seeded Indigenous Knowledge within over 50 client projects.

Agency in Design adheres to culturally informed protocols and principles for respectfully entering any space of Indigenous Knowledge.

This means Agency in Design isn’t fixed to one methodology as a guiding framework for any approach, but instead works from a position that acknowledges all things as being in relation to Country. As such, Agency in Design has found great resonance working in projects at both community and organisational levels, and we are always open to discussing how we might collaborate with you.

Have a project?

Agency in Design offers collaborative support in the design and development of Strategic plans, Engagement plans, Reconciliation Action Plans and Identity, Communications and Graphic Design. But we are not limited to this work. Our clients are diverse, and so, the work we do is truly bespoke and it’s continued application proof of the efficacy and utility of Indigenous Knowledge.

If you have a project, or opportunity, we would love to explore how Indigenous Knowledge informed Design could support you*.

The Space Project is delivered by a consortium of Connect Northern Rivers, Agency in Design, and the Githabul Rangers. The consortium has a strong history of working in collaboration and this project grew from existing plans for youth development projects in each community.

The Space Project brings together Indigenous practitioners across identified industry areas to develop participants’ skills and capacities with an emphasis on developing a community of future leaders.
