We believe design, inspired by, and in service to nature, guides us to a future we can be excited about.
About
Based in Liverpool, indigenous is a multi-skilled design consultancy working locally and globally. We intersect creative, nature-centric, and business mindsets to go further, together!
Our purpose
At the heart of indigenous is a passion for knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. On an atomic level you could consider this our protons and neutrons. The services we provide are the electrons spinning around our nucleus.
As ‘deep’ as that sounds it is quite simple. To develop and improve what we do for you, we are in a continuous cycle of learning and doing. The Services we offer are the same skills that sustain indigenous; From strategy and business planning, to visual communication and the spatial environment.
The natural world, and the laws of nature serve as our inspiration, in combination with design methods, processes, and toolkits. Together we synthesise human-centred and ecocentric practices for people & planet.
