Our Story

Active Matter was founded in 2018 to combine the craft of a design studio with the commerciality of a management consultancy to tackle increasingly complex business challenges.

Since then, we've worked globally to create seamless digital experiences, develop world-class products, and launch new ventures for companies ranging from Fortune 100 corporations to freshly minted startups.

We bring brutal optimism to our work, thinking big but remaining tethered to reality and moving at pace to create what's next.

Outcomes over outputs

Whether improving the experience of an existing product or launching a brand new venture, we set commercial targets for our work and measure our design outputs against them.

Entrepreneurs at heart

We love to make things happen and get our hands dirty. We treat our client’s businesses like our own and often co-invest in projects for a shared upside in the future. We are also professionals who know how to go from ideas to results.

Tuned for the future

We augment our core design team with world-class associates and specialist partners, which means that no matter what the channel, our clients always get the A-team so they can go further, faster.

💪

We work hard.
We're not hard work.
