We believe in creating
space for new thinking
Who we are
NorthernLight is a creative design agency based in Amsterdam. We create transformative and purposeful experiences for brands, museums and public spaces. We’ve been doing so for more than 20 years. Our focus has always been to find the urgency in a project. And translate this into a story that needs to be heard and experienced by everyone.
Why we do what we do
With our transformative experiences, we want to create space for new thinking. Our aim is to widen the perspectives of visitors, while taking them on a journey of discovery. We aspire to touch hearts, connect minds and activate hands.
Our spaces are designed for interaction. To share stories and create memories. This is how we can stimulate social and sustainable placemaking. Beauty and inspiration as a catalyst for change towards a brighter future.
