Designing transformative experiences
We believe design can be a catalyst of change for the societal questions of our time. Our focus is on finding the urgency in a project, why it is a story that needs to be told, why it is an experience that every visitor should have. We challenge the status quo of our clients in order to create designs that create meaningful value for their customers. We can provide turn-key results when required, specialising in taking a project from initial brief and design to final execution of the experience. Projects range from innovation centers to art museums, from brand experiences to world expo’s, from children’s museum to high rise experiences and from science centers to ecotourism.
200 projects in 30 countries
Our team
Design is not only about thinking it is also about making. Implementation and execution are key to good design. ‘The devil is in the details’. NorthernLight brings a full service approach. From strategic thinking, creative planning, visual, spatial and experience design, to implementation of immersive spaces and interactive experiences. Our international team provides holistic thinking and overview. We ignore traditional boundaries between diverse disciplines. You will find a colourful tribe of visual designers, spatial designers, experience designers, content strategists and project managers. Our core team works closely together with social media experts, film makers, strategists, writers, software developers, science communicators, architects, animators and any creative mind that can help to take the project further. All passionately working on developing the coolest experiences. Diversity makes us smarter.
