About Neoteny

ne*ot*eny | nēˈätn-ē|

n. the retention of juvenile characteristics in adult life

Neoteny is a full service design band.

We believe great design creates a positive impact.

Our name reminds us, and those we work with that Human-Centered Design should be playful, collaborative, and fun.

The essence of this approach is to embrace curiosity. To ask questions and actively listen, rather than push preconception.

We create environments that allow people to explore their imaginations and familiarise themselves with the unfamiliar.

We prefer to be fully immersed, as such; we typically work inside organisations, along side our clients, stakeholders and customers.

We assemble project teams from diverse backgrounds and with differing motivations. These teams can include customers, CEOs, engineers, product designers, creative directors, employees, suppliers and facilitators. Neoteny facilitates great design.

We look forward to every gig. Let's jam.

 

Our Community, Our Network

We're firm believers that the number of people in our company isn't the deciding factor that enables us to have a positive impact. In fact, we're keen to stay lean and make sure we take a truely sustainable path to greatness!
 
We're fortunate to have a wide, gifted and dedicated community around us. We call on people in our network whenever it's needed; whether it's to get their perspective, to have them work on a project with us, or to simply exchange ideas and work through challenges.
 
We're also constantly seeking to expand our community, to learn from our peers, specialists, our 'competitors' and of course, from both the new kids on the block and the gurus.
 
Please get in touch with us if you think there's a natural fit and we could work, play or share ideas together.
