The Collective

The brave
ones.

Kirsten

Kirsten

Research, Design Ops, TrainingLinkedIn

Kirsten sees the whole board: the pattern in the data, the dependency in the system and the thing that has to move first. Then she clears the path so great work can happen.

Ekta

Ekta

Strategy, Delivery & the Bits In BetweenLinkedIn

Ekta turns ambiguity into a clear plan and complexity into plain English, shepherding people, priorities and tasks back on track. Teams describe her as the calm centre when there are lots of moving parts.

Tom

Tom

AI Product DesignLinkedIn

Tom works at the intersection of design, product strategy and AI, where most people specialise in only one or two. He absorbs complexity, finds the useful idea within it and turns it into a clear product direction.

Stuart

Stuart

Product DesignLinkedIn

Stuart spots when the wrong problem is being solved, gets everyone aligned around what matters and leads the work through delivery. He moves easily between design, research and strategy, stepping forward or back as the project needs.

Pete

Pete

Typography & Editorial DesignLinkedIn

Pete has spent a decade obsessing over how words, images and space change the way something is read and understood. He brings print-honed craft to digital work, with a sharp eye for detail and no interest in taking himself too seriously.

Franco

Franco

Brand + System DesignLinkedIn

Franco treats a brand as a system, not just a look. He is relentless about the detail most people skip: the spacing, the rhythm, the logic that makes everything after it easier, because that's what makes an identity survive contact with the real world.

Gareth

Gareth

EngineeringLinkedIn

Gareth observes before he acts, so he is rarely first with a solution but often the one who sees what others have missed. He makes the difficult call, gets blocked projects moving and brings teams back into alignment.

Benny

Benny

Design Systems & LeadershipLinkedIn

Benny spots what matters in a sea of noise and aligns teams around it in a way that works. Thoughtful and direct in equal measure, he has a strong bias towards making things happen.

Jenny

Jenny

Product DesignLinkedIn

Jenny undersells and overdelivers, happiest in the file sweating the details. She bridges brand and product, building design systems that carry identity through the interface without sacrificing usability, consistency or accessibility.

Marc

Marc

Agency GrowthLinkedIn

Marc helps founders cut through the noise, make better decisions and move forward with more confidence. He has no fixed playbook, just ace judgement built from years of leading, growing and advising agencies.

Jed Palma

Jed Palma

Technology & EnergyLinkedIn

Extensive energy sector experience and a dev team that builds practically anything. If you can imagine it, Jed's team has probably already built it.

Ilaria

Ilaria

UX Design & ResearchLinkedIn

Ilaria sees the human signal in complexity. Warm, curious and deeply invested, she brings people together, uncovers what others miss and shapes products and services people actually want to use.

Brenden

Brenden

Systems Design & Business StrategyLinkedIn

Brenden asks the elephant-in-the-room questions others avoid, then brings together the people, technology and ideas needed to answer them. He is a practical thought partner for complex products, services, systems and organisations.

Jason

Jason

Future ShapingLinkedIn

Jason wrangles hope-fuelled futures into being. Finding the resonance that moves people forward and tackling the resistance that holds them back. Whether through futures design, product-service strategy, creative coaching or shaping designers, he brings rigour and warmth to the gnarliest of challenges.

Zoe

Zoe

EA & OperationsLinkedIn

Zoe is the connective tissue of DRĄSA. She partners closely with Aleks, bringing clarity to priorities, momentum to projects and structure to the day-to-day. Behind every great piece of client work is a business that's just as thoughtfully organised.
