Resilient Sydney Strategy 2025–2030: A Shared Vision for Sydney’s Resilience

Key Impact: Consistent daily inbound leads

The Resilient Sydney Strategy 2025–2030 is a region-wide resilience framework uniting 33 councils across Greater Sydney. Its core challenge was scale: enabling multiple councils and audiences to work from a shared vision without losing clarity, cohesion and public trust.

We refreshed the strategy’s brand identity and created a cohesive design system, ensuring the strategy is communicated clearly and consistently across councils, channels and contexts.

Better Business Partnership: Aligning Three Local Councils Around a Shared Direction

Better Business Partnership brings together multiple local councils to support sustainable business practices across their regions. The challenge was alignment: different priorities, perspectives and expectations needed to be surfaced and reconciled before future strategy could move forward.

We designed and facilitated a structured brand and vision workshop with committee members across 3 councils, collecting qualitative input and data at every stage. Through analysis and synthesis, we delivered a comprehensive report that clarified shared goals, surfaced points of divergence, and defined a clear vision and mission to inform the partnership’s next phase.

Circular Sydney: Research-Led Insights for Systems Change

Circular Sydney is a knowledge-sharing initiative designed to make circular economy innovation more visible, accessible, and connected across the city. The challenge was capturing complex, fragmented activity in a way that could inform policy, partnerships and action.

We led qualitative research and insight development, conducting in-depth interviews with local innovators and synthesising findings into clear, accessible narratives. The work provided a grounded evidence base that helped translate lived experience into insight, supporting more informed decision-making around Sydney’s circular future.

Radish Events: Using AI to Measure Food Waste

Radish Events needed a reliable way to measure food inputs and waste to accurately understand their environmental impact. Manual processes were time-consuming and limited what could be measured or improved.

We researched, designed and delivered a custom AI-powered system that transformed scattered receipts into structured, usable data. Built in just four weeks, the MVP provided Radish with a clear, accurate picture of food usage, enabling more confident reporting, decision-making and sustainability outcomes.

Utilitarian: Translating Complex Innovation for Stakeholders

Utilitarian operates in a highly complex space, bridging infrastructure, sustainability, and public systems. The challenge was communicating this complexity clearly to government and investor stakeholders without losing nuance.

We worked closely with the founder to research, structure and refine a clear narrative and visual pitch system. Through ongoing iteration, the work enabled stronger stakeholder conversations, supported partnership development, and gave the founder a communication framework that could travel across markets and jurisdictions.
