Strategic Design Sessions + Design Hours

Gain clarity, direction, and momentum through focused, outcome-driven design sessions.

Strategic Design Hours are structured working sessions designed to help brands define spatial direction, resolve design challenges, and make confident decisions early. These sessions are ideal when you need clear thinking, fast progress, and expert perspective — without committing to a full project.

You’ll work directly with a senior designer to explore ideas, test concepts, and establish practical next steps. The focus is on clarity and decision-making, giving you direction you can act on immediately.

What Strategic Design Hours Are Used For

  • Early-stage spatial strategy and concept direction

  • Exhibition, retail, or brand environment planning

  • Aligning brand narrative with physical space

  • Reviewing ideas before engaging build partners

  • Solving specific design or layout challenges

  • Preparing concepts for downstream execution by appointed partners

These sessions are designed to remove uncertainty, sharpen ideas, and save time later in the process.

    Collaborate live with a senior designer to explore, test, and refine ideas.

  • Leave With Direction

Pricing

Strategic Design Hours are priced based on scope, complexity, and session format.

Rates typically start from $90 AUD per hour, with adjusted rates applied for:

  • senior-level strategy sessions

  • complex spatial challenges

  • international or time-critical work

All pricing, scope, and timelines are confirmed in writing before work begins, no surprises, no unnecessary commitments.


Who This Is For

Strategic Design Hours are ideal for:

  • Brands entering exhibitions or physical environments for the first time

  • Teams needing clarity before committing to build or production

If you need direction before execution, this is the right place to start.


We’ll review your brief, recommend the right session format, and confirm availability.
