About

Brief Logo

Hey there,

We are a new kind of design studio, based in sunny Singapore.

Our concept is very basic. Creating a home for generalists to solve tomorrow's problems, today.

At brief, we redefine affordable design with bespoke, sustainable solutions for Singapore's progressive clients. Inspired by optimism and urgency, our mission is to deliver transformative, result-oriented projects. Backed by a decade of local experience, we're committed to breaking the norm of under-delivered promises and uninspired bootcamps. Let's ignite the change you envision, together.

How we work

We cultivate leaders driven by talent development and meaningful work. Here, fledgling designers gain diverse skills, preparing them to address generational challenges with human-centred ethics.

01

Equal Access
to valuable disciplines.

We value under appreciated design disciplines such as Design Research, Strategy, and Rapid Prototyping, committed to making them accessible to smaller teams.

02

Partners, not vendors.

Partnership and understanding underpin our work with clients. We embed ourselves in your team to co-create meaningful, successful outcomes.

03

Form follows Research.

We advocate for design decisions rooted in comprehensive research and synthesis. With a decade of experience, we deliver functional, intuitive designs across a spectrum of disciplines.

04

Measure when it’s meaningful.

Hypothesis-driven by nature, we measure and design with a clear and purposeful intention, shunning aimlessness.

05

Investing in the next generation of Generalists.

We adhere to purposeful measurements and intentional design. We reject designs without a defined plan to assess their effectiveness.

06

Pissed off Optimists.

We acknowledge the complexity of the world, yet hold a steadfast belief in the power of positive change. Our expectation is a shared dissatisfaction with the status quo, coupled with an optimistic view of the future.
